it's possibly Silverstrata's Berkshire cousin
Skipness: So now you have resorted to name calling; is this really necessary just because you're loosing ?
Suggest you forget about long haul and legacy, you will only confuse yourself and everyone else. Please try and keep it simple !
If all the existing BA & Virgin flights are transferred back to LHR, that is a total of
46,596 atms. It seems safe to say the broad consensus about R3 is it's nothing more than a dogs dinner and not a long term solution.
Meanwhile NHT tents, taxis & buses remain a possible short term solution to the SE capacity problem.
If BAA had a collection of electic taxis & MPVs along with hydrogen powered single and double decker buses, they would have a pretty flexible choice of transport for anyone transferring between NHT & LHR. If only a handful of pax were transferring a taxi may be suitable, a few more and the MPV may be required; if the demand arose the single or double decker hydrogen bus could be used. Of course BAA would not need as many drivers as vehicles, if they were trained to drive all types.
