Transport Chris Grayling is set to signal an appetite for new runways at UK regional airports this week, when he announces a government decision on expanding either Heathrow or Gatwick | City A.M.
This is beyond barmy. Birmingham couldn't fill a second runway if you waited until 2116 !!!!!!!
And seemingly what Manchester wants is simple levels of connectivity / investment in antiquated road and rail not runways.
Offering something nobody
wants is a "perverse tactic " !
From £12bn there must be some small change left , why not give them a couple of million each. I doubt their MPs and media will know the difference!
