When the first train lurched into motion it was preceeded by someone waving a red flag, now they flood daily into Waterloo and Grand Central with plenty more than an A380 load and a noticeable absence of ambulances carting off the sick passengers. I think this is called progress.
Furthermore I will be a lot happier sitting in a shiny new A380 instead of a clapped out 30 yr old jumbo with a history of metal fatigue, bits dropping off, even breaking up in the air or going bang because the fuel tanks are wired up wrong... New planes mean new specs and better materials, from which we all benefit.
Don't be surprised to see A380's doing the Jersey bouncer one day at $10 a head !! (Ok they might have to extend the runway a bit first).
Congestion though will be an issue, mostly in the arrivals hall and immigration, and that will take some time to fix !! Airports are due a major rethink...
