Heathrow East/West?
From the Heathrow publication " Taking Britain Further".
Heathrow East will be what old folk called the CTA, Term's 1,2,& 3. Heathrow West will be an enlarged & extended T5 westwards engulfing the north/south road from Staines to Uxbridge, used by non M25 traffic, and as a major freight & airport services road.

dash6 stated: "You have only to listen to any broadcast from Central London to realise why Heathrow should close,apart from all the congestion and lack of space for expansion. Why not "Boris Island" Aligned 23/05 with at least 6 runways with transport links north and South along a barrier across the estuary opening up East Kent and Essex and generating tidal power for the airport? Think big!"

and later: "If you build it,they will come. If you call it "Heathrow East" most customers won't notice the difference."

Not sure that it was a reference to the central terminal area of Heathrow.
