It is also the name of the railway development company made up to exploit the concession same name. This company depends on group NEG (National Express train Group), one of the British independent groups of transport.
The service is permanent and offers a departure all fifteen minutes in peak period, every 30 minutes the remainder of time, and the time of way is of approximately half an hour.
This service caused fine 2004 some polemics, certain owners railway estimating that the trains being often with half vacuums, it occupied unnecessarily of the furrows on a line which appears among most occupied of the country. The SRA (Strategic Rail Authority) plans to integrate this service in an existing concession, that of the line London - Brighton with an aim of reducing the congestion of the suburban trains. This idea is firmly fought by the current railway owner, like BAA, the authority manager of the airport (British Airports Authority), who fear that the service offered to the users of the airport is degraded because of promiscuity with the traffic of suburbs.
