Colnbrook has a railway line running into West Drayton, formerly carrying passenger traffic, today only carrying goods desired for the Heathrow airport extension (Terminal 5). This railway line formerly continued to Staines and there are plans to re-use the southern part of it for the AirTrack rail link from Staines to Heathrow Airport.
