It's been 12 years since MN and MW were both first announced.....so take the current and new dates with a big "maybe". There does however appear more political will now than ever for it.
Is it true that a metro station was built under T1 in the 70s in anticipation of this? I know it sounds like a ridiculous rumour but I've heard it from more than one person who works in the airport? Supposedly directly beneath the disused spiral car parks between T1 and T2?
