HEATHROW regulars and indeed all users of the M25 in its westerly extremes, will be delighted with the news that a ”148m widening scheme has been opened a week early by Transport Secretary Alistair Darling. It is a real Christmas present for all who have a need to visit one of Europe”s busiest motorways. The M25 has been widened from four to five lanes in each direction between junctions 12 and 14 (7km) and from four to six lanes, in each direction between junctions 14 and 15 (3.5km), effectively the area covered by the new Terminal 5.
