For those interested in the mileages, the temporary station was at 12m
25ch (I've seen it described as "Heathrow Interchange"), the northern-
most tunnel mouth is at 12m 30ch.

The station was removed very promptly on opening of the permanent
route. I believe that restoring the land to its original use was part
of the planning requirements.

I took a photo of a 332 there once, after just getting off it.
