The whole strategy here is to give LHR the space it needs so that the congestion and the traffic will be allieviated. It's a shame about Sipson but then Stansted expansion is going to demolish some nicer villages with the only return being more loco travel. Glad they picked the right battle first. I hope that some of the more pragmatic donors to the Tories pressure "Call me Dave" to get real about what London really needs.
I look forward to an improved and world class Heathrow. I was damning about BAA and T5 on opening but having given them time and a chance, it's a pleasure to use. It CAN be done.
