I say that Boris better be kidding about all of this nonsense, considering the money and efforts we're currently expending to shuffle 52 out of 80 airlines around the CTA and T4 at Heathrow.
We're 10 months into the Central Terminal Area rebuild and there's a long way to go yet, the T2 demolition has been put back a year and HET is yet to even break ground.
The services gantry erected outside of T2 and the QB (Queens Building) has already cost as much as Boris' election campaign. That's going to carry allthe power, fluids and data around the demolition when it starts.
This is all without the cost of the gate reworking as well.
... and then he's gonna move it down the river eh . . . methinks not !!
