Hayes is a west London suburb in England once administered by Middlesex County Council with considerable though declining industrial activity, once drawn to the infrastructure of the Grand Union Canal that flanks the town centre. Parallel to that east-west canal, now used predominantly by recreational boaters, runs a fast four-track railway line part of the Great Western Railway which serves stations such as Paddington and Kensington Olympia on the western edge of central London. The local station is called Hayes and Harlington station and it functions as a convenient interchange with frequent buses linking London Heathrow Airport and Harrow. This dog-legged route appeals to Heathrow workers and passengers partly because many aviation-related firms and hotels are clustered along the A4 road that separates the northern airport runway from residential districts and partly because a premium fare is levied on passengers that choose to travel on the Heathrow Express train service to or from London Paddington. Buses to the low-rise Stockley Park business park built on former gravel pits, also link to Hayes and Harlington Station, to the centre of the busy airport, and to West Drayton station that performs a similar interchange role for rail passengers approaching Heathrow from places in Oxfordshire or Berkshire.
If the Crossrail scheme proceeds then that premium fare arrangement might need to be phased-out, which would clearly make the direct rail service more popular and perhaps, uncomfortably congested. A small railway museum can be found at nearby Southall. The significant plane builder Fairey Aviation had a factory at Hayes until about 1990. This produced aircarft such as the STOL Lysander, the nimble Firefly, the noisy, shipboard Gannet and the diminutive Scout and Wasp helicopters, a few of which survive on civil registers. By the time of this helicopter building period the company had become part of the Westland group. EMI records is another long-established employer with premises close to the railway.
Harlington's future is particularly threatened by a scheme yet to be elaborated for a third parallel runway for Heathrow. This relatively short extra runway was suggested publicly by the airport's commercial operator close to the M4 motorway in about 2000 on land well-beyond the airport's current northern perimeter. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.78.83.84 (talk) 00:06, 10 December 2004 (minor revisions subsequently added by —Preceding unsigned comment added by Francs2000 (talk • contribs) 20:22, 4 February 2005 and —Preceding unsigned comment added by ADNghiem501 (talk • contribs) 01:08, 4 August 2006).
