Given the scale of the project, the planning required and the need for the airport to remain fully operational throughout, why is this timescale 'a complete joke?'
1) Started 10 years too late.
2) Growth will be restricted.
3) Start digging when airport hits max capacity
4) Forget based aircraft.

Sadly, the clock can not be set back. The boat sailed and they missed it.
Welcome to Heathrow! The third rwy is 40 years too late and hasn't been started yet.....at least MAN-2's redevelopment
WILL definitely happen.
Heathrow has had 3 terminals built since they were so
called full and T2 has shown how it can be done in stages.
Of course it can be done in stages, it's not an issue. Many airports have done this.
Long haul having to wait for gates? Appalling. Great news for Dublin.
Welcome to Heathrow again! Although it is for a different reason: at LHR departing aircraft cannot leave the stand when the queue to take off is too long and overflowing, which is most of the day, consequently arriving aircraft are kept waiting. Unbelievable but true.
