Ozzy,

You baulk at the cost of £17bn for LHR expansion yet seem completely willing to accept TFL's figures for the access cost. I noticed you quoted them at £10bn - £20bn but then went on to use their highest figure to aid your highly biased argument.

Why is the figure from TFL not open to as much scrutiny? Also, you cannot compare a new build project on open fields away from the city with expanding a site like LHR and all it's constraints.

Do you honestly believe that EZY (who will no doubt be in their own terminal) will offer the same supposed seamless connectivity as IAG !
The connectivity is built into the airport with baggage transfer tunnels and rapid transport systems.

On a second point, UK MPs are being promised the earth by the Heathrow propaganda machine, if its not a direct flight its a juicy new logistic hub.
They are visiting EVERY Chamber Of Commerce in the country with the same promise and same presentation,

It really is Emperor’s new clothes stuff !

What do you know that the managers of these 40 airports do not? They have agreed that LHR expansion would be good for their business and their local area. But it is still a project that will only benefit the South East UK apparently.
