Just to explain this one (in round numbers).
T1 and T2 were built to handle 20m pax a year but are actually handling 40m.
Heathrow East replacement therefore built to handle 40m pax a year but will of course actually get used for 80m.
1. Can tell Greens "no increase in capacity over current levels".
2. Pax are as squashed as ever.
