And some decent rail lines to Heathrow - compared to AMS it's embarassing. West to Bristol and North to Bhm/Leeds/Manchester at least. There's another 9 slots I've just freed up for you
Agreed in principle. However the market does the talking, especially when operating at capacity, so my opinion is that expansion is required to really make a difference in growing connectivity
