Someone I know had a rare chance to talk to representatives of Airtrack and they say that the crossings at Egham and Pooley Green could be down between 35 and 44 min in every hour, effectively cutting the area in two, and at peak times barriers could actually be down continually for over 45 minutes.

The proposed Airtrack (who are in fact the BBA) link to Terminal 5 will have a significant detrimental impact on the time these barriers are down.
