I keep reading articles comparing Heathrow with other European cities. Of course I believe that press is independent and not infuenced by
BA bosses urges bigger Heathrow...
But hang on, when I read this I get itchy skin:
BBC NEWS | UK | Heathrow creaks under heavy traffic
Of course they miss the point: no other European city has more 5 international airports! We have Heathrow (2 runways), Gatwick, Stansted, Luton and City (each with a single runway). So that's 6 runways in total, creating noise all around London! Ridiculous.
All the money spent in Heathrow would have been better used creating a new aiport in the middle of the Thames estuary with good train and road links rather than blighting all the airspace around London. But the government seem to think small. No high speed trains network for instance, small project only.
The problem of thinking small is that you end up with a bigger problem...
