HEATHROW
I watched a documentary on YouTube the other night from 1989/90 ish and while it was about the railways called " off the rails " , the real eye opener and worrying thing is was the fact that in 22 years of mainly Tory rule nothing has changed , the program spoke of how Britain looked poor to the rest of Europe as it had no HS link to the new tunnel , Infrastructure was grinding to a halt as was London .
Here we are in 2012 STILL dithering about the HS links and the exact same story with airports .
It seems that the only sensible solution is to look at a new site close to motorway links , which in themselves have the parallel land needed to widen them to take traffic generated by a new four runway airport with room for more , And build some kind of rapid transit link into London . Now do we use upper Hertford or alternatively is it possible to turn it round altogether can gatwick or stansted be expanded to ' super airport status ' and turn heathrow into some kind of domestic /low cost airport with a very high speed link to say gatwick. Turning the idea on its head downgrading heathrow and making either of the others ' super hubs '
