"Could not see us getting.."
Is that because of the slope of the land, or planning issues?
Can you think of another way round the problem?
Actually - I am sure the proposals in the Gov White Paper for expansion at EMA suggested that a new apron be built due south of Cargo West, on the south side of the A453, access to/from it by extending the Juliet Twy over the A453.
Just another thought - at LHR, when 27R is the take off runway, how does traffic leaving from T4 taxi across 27L, the active landing runway? Does it cross it, or go round it? will have to look at some charts.......
Just looked at the LHR charts and it looks like they cross an active 27L when going from T4 to 27R.
