runways
on the subject of northolt, it can take 146's so its not that restricted. as i recall its just under 6000', does heathrows short ever get used? also on the subject of runways in the south east i can recall a freight company wanting to use the old rae airfield at bedford and theres also been talk about alconbury. i personally think gatwick will get a second runway, which will mean it wont be the worlds busiest single runway airport. mind you the owners of biggin and blackbushe must be rubbing their hands. and finally there was talk(the department of transport only ever seems to talk) of a rail link between lhr and lgw a few years ago, anyone know anything?
