Yes,reported the expansion plans were due to be debated by MP`s this week at Westminster.
Pointed out when the plans/aspirations were published a few weeks ago that this would not be a simple process.The last approved expansion was a "fudge" between local councils & Government Ministers,this new mooted plan has much wider repercussions & will require to be long fought.
It took STN many years/decades to reach permission for 35m pax p.a. even with Governmental on/off cognizance & LTN will be no different in the process.
Still not convinced this is a true reflection of the operators & owners ultimate ambition rather than a scoping/holding position in the grand game.
