Fresh sources

Thesis covering the Stresses in sprayed concrete tunnel junctions and primarily focused on the station construction. —Sladen (talk) 13:10, 11 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

whether open

The body of the article suggests the station is open, with services running to and from it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 110.175.153.209 (talk) 01:43, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Lead

First of all, this is a railway station. It's located on a line operated by Heathrow Airport Holdings and is currently managed by Heathrow Express. The fact that it is now served by the Elizabeth line is not the defining porperty of this station. I have never seen a lead that said e.g. "Xyz station is a GWR station", so why do it here? We can say that this station is served by the Elizabeth line in the lead but nevertheless it's just a normal railway station that can be served by anyone. --PhiH (talk) 13:56, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@PhiH: T4 railway station might be managed by Heathrow Express but no HX trains stop at the station. It is only served by Elizabeth line (or TfL if you wish) trains, for which it is one of three western termini. By all means reword the introduction, but do not leave out the fact that the station's only service is provided by the Elizabeth line. A suggestion, based on the adjacent but unconnected Heathrow Terminal 4 tube station's article might be Heathrow Terminal 4 is a railway station at Heathrow Airport on the Heathrow Terminal 4 branch of the Elizabeth line..

I will reword the introduction. Your example suggests the Elizabeth line is a railway line, though. --PhiH (talk) 14:03, 2 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
