fair enough, you are probably better placed to decide that than me. As with all big infrastructure projects it will no doubt be massively over budget and hugely delayed. Saying that, it has to be a fraction of the expense/time than a brand new airport. Look at Berlin’s new airport for a start, and that’s the Germans! Like I said before, I think the “national interest” tag is valid in this situation (especially with Brexit). Like it or not, LHR is the hub of the UK, and something we should want to succeed.
