Could not an emergency road crossing be provided across the taxiway between the bridge and the fire station? No doubt I will be ridiculed here but in Gibraltar the main road onto the rock crosses the Runway.
It seems not - something to do with security and restricted/controlled zones, we're led to believe.
So a group of civil servants did not ensure that a commercial organisation met the highest standards of construction?
As a result of their failure, they have lost money and reputation.
That's the whole point - the design of LTN's Central Terminal Area was drawn up and implemented during the time when the Airport was owned and operated by LBC, and the mangement involved, employed by LIA. The plans were also approved by LBC and the Highways Authority. So the fault doesn't just lie with former LTN's former thoroughly inept mangement.
Perhaps the LTN tunnel was designed as a drainage ditch, to carry all of the sewage from luton elsewhere
Thanks for a most constructive comment formerijmpilot - so what exactly is your point?
Blame the regime that decided on a cul-de-sac road access
Agreed, as I said above - but what's the access to STN from the 'public' road connection if not a cul-de-sac? So too the road access to both the North and South terminals at LGW where these leave the 'public' road system - and at peak times, the traffic there can back up onto the M23.
