Quite so. And while we are at it, we can tell Ferrovial to take their "investment" and sell it on to someone more competent with a key UK national resource. They've been pushed out of Gatwick and Stansted by the regulatory authorities, now its time for Heathrow.
By 1800 Saturday, just as the snow (in all a few centimetres) STARTED, Heathrow went down to single runway ops, the south runway being closed. How can this be ? The majority of airports around the world are single (significant) runway, and in snow areas they just manage to carry on operating through all winter weather. Not close a main runway at the first snowflake !
