They are encouraging government investment. MAN / MAG would not benefit from government investment would it ?
No....but if they came forward with an offer of infastructure re link roads, rail etc I'm sure MAG would snatch their hand off.
It is of course highly unlikely given previous levels of meagre investment up here.
That said, if of course HAL are told that they have to fund the relative aspect of growth in road /rail/ tunnels around Heathrow it would set a precedent whereby MAG would also need to fund its own supporting infastructure, interestingly LCY has funded their own local transport improvement re DLR etc !
HAL would of course still place the begging bowl on the doorstep of Westminster against the back stop of HS2 investment heading our way, ooh lets see circa 2050 ?
...along with the return of that mythical creature the Unicorn.
