I'm seeing a "softening-up" for an LGW decision.
I think this is more a political strike by TfL who have long coveted putting a "Congestion Charge" like they have in Central London onto the roads surrounding Heathrow. £11.50 per car per day would come in quite handy for their coffers to be squandered on Cycle Superhighways, expensive Borismaster buses, etc, because, of course, for many there's no alternative to a car, with so many reporting before public transport starts or finishing after midnight, plus all those exec cars who they know must be only used by multi-millionaires
