The A45 /Damson Parkway/Elmdon junction is already chaos especially when Land Rover kicks out.
Can you imagine throwing another 4 million passengers plus into that mix !
For maximum use of space the idea of a terminal on this site would be fantastic especially with the proximity of 33 departures and 15 roll-out but Nigel is absolutely spot on about the traffic chaos. I fell victim to it at 6.30 in the morning although I still don't know if there were any special circumstances that day but dropping my youngest for the 08.00 Dublin I was stuck in a log-jam before 6.30. Luckily I was able to do a U-turn just after the Moors ground and went through Catherine-de-Barnes and panic over. Okay I had a senior moment and probably should have took the CDB option in the first place but what a mess. I am not sure if that obstacle can be overcome.
