Hi there,excuse my ignorance as a SLF but can someone explain why there are two 'runways' at LGW if they cannot be used simultaneously?
They are parallel so I suppose offer no use regarding alternatives in weather conditions so what is their purpose together and why were they constructed like this(at no doubt high cost) if they cannot function independently?
