New proposal on this link.

"A proposed M25-style high-speed railway could cut journey times between Gatwick and Heathrow airports to just 15 minutes.

The £10billion HS4Air line would run partly alongside the M25, looping around London and providing the first direct route between the UK’s two busiest airports.

The line would run for a total of 87 miles between Ashford in Kent and Denham, northwest of London.

It would provide a link between HS1, which runs between the Channel Tunnel and London, and the planned HS2 rail line, which will run from the capital to major cities in the north."

There is a map in the article. Looks a better idea than the 'two lords' one perhaps.
