Yes it has motorways and a train station, but I don't see many aircraft being able to make use of those ;-)

BOH wins by a mile because it has airport infrastructure, a longer runway, superior ILS, larger aprons, hangarage, maintenance facilities, better operating hours and importantly further room to expand air/non-airside facilities and it works better that it's further away from LGW/LHR.
