Doors to Automatic ~ no, the proposed new runway at Luton (08R/26L) is +/- 3000 metres long and parallel to but offset slightly from, the existing runway 08/26.

The runways are not far enough apart to be operated 'independantly' and the noise-abatement turn from the current Runway 26 would preclude simultaneous take-offs.
