Err, is that not exactly what we've been saying about FBI all the way through the thread?
Err, no. An Estuary airport is not the same as a Channel airport. At least the former is near London and almost on all the surface transport links.


Have they written back, thanking you for pointing out the errors of their ways.
Yes, of course.


Not heard of T5 link to Reading? HS2 Old Oak proposal?
Living on a spur-line, is not 'being connected to the world'. You should try it sometime.


Whatever happens with HS2, it will NOT be branded TGV
Who cares what it is called?
I know, lets call it the Train Very Fast (TVF), brilliant, eh?


Except that they are putting Crossrail to it, through it, and perhaps even out the other side. Really oozing with facts today Silver!
Feel free check out the Crossrail route, and apologize.
Near You - Crossrail - Crossrail

As I said before, living on a spur-line, is not 'being connected to the world'. You should try it sometime.


So well kept the only airline boss who has backed FBI is Jim French of Flybe.
Do you really think that Willie Walsh is going to stand up before all his personnel, who all live around Heathrow, and say "I am lobbying for a Silver-Boris Thames airport" ? He would be lynched.

As I said before, airline bosses are all waiting for someone else to blame. "Sorry, its all Boris' fault. I did warn him not to do this. I did try and stand up for you guys, but its out of my hands. Sorry."

(Followed by the muffled sound of champagne bottles being opened.......)
