Non-suscribers won't be able to see the article.
Of course LGW needs a second runway, it's nearly as full as LHR, but LHR needs a third more urgently.
A planning agreement prohibits LGW expansion before 2019, a government with an anti-business and anti-enterprise agenda prohibits LHR expansion.
Have to say that rail access to/from Brighton, Croydon and London is pretty good as is access north of London on the East Midlands main line.
