HS2: Less than an hour to Central London....

Sorry to post in amongst all this ongoing deep discussion about airport ownership and the like, but just listening to Radio 4 the reporter said that Manchester Airport will get its own HS2 station, (as the poster above mentions, with link) and Central London will be "less than an hour" away.

Is this not a game changer for thinking about London's airport capacity and what happens in the South East? I say that on the assumption that you have an airport in the North West with two long runways which I assume are not fully utilised....?
