Or we can just hit ignore button.
London airport in the Channel. Nice location for an airport, depending on its weather record, but hardly suitable for surface transport to most of England.
Err, is that not exactly what we've been saying about FBI all the way through the thread?
Which is why I have written to all of these consortiums, pointing out their error and suggesting a S.W. orientation for their airport.
Have they written back, thanking you for pointing out the errors of their ways, sacked their engineers and given you a job yet?
Only one more strip of concrete in totally the wrong location -
- with yet more noise and danger to London itself;
The biggest danger has always been the drive to/from the airport. So longer drive to a fantasy island means an increase in net risk.
- at an airport that is still not linked to the rail system without passing through London;
Oh do pay attention Silver! Not heard of T5 link to Reading? HS2 Old Oak proposal?
- and has not a hope in hell of ever getting a TGV link, not even HS2;
I thought you hated the French, with their 75% tax rates? Whatever happens with HS2, even if franchised out to SNCF-Keolis, it will NOT be branded TGV, because most Brits don't know what those letters stand for.
- and was so unimportant they could not even be bothered to put Crossrail through it;
Except that they are putting Crossrail to it, through it, and perhaps even out the other side. Really oozing with facts today Silver!
Strange how those two crashes occurred on those dates 21 and 22 December so very near there anniversarys!
About as strange as how historians will be writing about how the whole world crashed on 21st December 2012.
and the town would not have been forever associated in our minds with <the> tragedy.
Already had a major train crash. Now is that spooky as well? No, just random co-incidence, so what?
Secretly, I bet every airline manager in the world would rather they operated from a new London airport, than struggle on with LHR and all its overcrowding and slot issues.
Must be a pretty good secret. So well kept the only airline boss who has backed FBI is Jim French of Flybe - one of Europe's leading REGIONAL airlines! Perhaps he knows FBI would drive BA & Virgin bankrupt if they moved there!
