Except that, um, it isn't allowed to even think about building another runway until 2020?

2019. Which isnt disimilar to runway 3 at LHR. And given that Gatwick Airport is surrounded by green fields in all directions (well looks like it is everytime I drive there and look out of a window when landing or departing), has to work better than the current location of Heathrow which may have been fine in 1940 but certainly isnt now. And will it ever get a proper rail link? (Crossrail wont happen either)
