BHX is suffering the UK national infrastructure disease, and has done since the day the new site was planned back in the 1970s. Namely, the UK designs for for yesterday, rarely for today and never for the future.

That's why our road, rail and airport network is woefully inadequate, and streets behind much of what is in place in mainland Europe. Without being political, if you put infrastructure into the hands of profit making organisations (or organisations who's modus operandii is to return profit) the UK disease will proliferate.
