‘Boris Island’ airport may replace Heathrow
The London mayor plans to shut down the city’s main airport and build a new four-runway hub in the Thames estuary
Now his officials are drawing up proposals to close it and replace it with a 24-hour airport located on an artificial island in the Thames estuary.
Why can't he just think about the amount of people who will loose Jobs and how hard it will be for those who mostly live Near Heathrow to travel across not just one side of London but that and Kent.
Yeah there is the Eurostar that stops near by and could be extended... But Bohoo. That wont work as everyone has to go through Central/city of London to get there.
How the does a Runway cost this much to build?
The government is expected to decide by the end of the year whether to allow a controversial third runway to be built at Heathrow, at a cost of up to £13 billion.
Terminal 5 looks better than a Runway at just £3BN
How many think this will never happen, i believe it wont.
