Regarding my parking question:
I held off phoning the expensive LHR enquiry line and investigated the Northern Perimiter Road by G maps.
The answer is that the Business park for T2+3 is immediately adjacent to Long term T5 (NOT Pod parking) and, further, there is no fence between the zones as they share an exit. So I can book and park in the T5 section and take their bus. On the return, take the Biz Park bus from T3. Hopefully that will be 'simples'.

Agree totally with that argument. It will bring much needed competition to the south east, make it cheaper for airlines and free up
access to slots. Heathrow wants it all and the only ones who will benefit are the airport shareholders. Airlines, passengers and people under the flight paths over London are the ones who are disadvantaged.

Here we go again ...
Maybe they could set up a study group to look at hub capacity options in SE UK. They could call it - let me think - how about the Airports Commission ?
Oh, hang on ...

Is there something amiss at Heathrow today? A few inbound flights from the US have done circuits around the Chippenham area, while another handful are doing something similar in the Worcester/Birmingham area.

The arrival rate is down, but only slightly - 169 landings by 10:00 compared to 176 yesterday.

They lost one runway for a while, clearing up a hydraulic leak. Quite a few inbounds holding en-route, with a few diversions too.
Reported on most of the red-tops’ website, plus here: https://metro.co.uk/2020/02/19/plane...hrow-12265820/

The aircraft causing the aggravation was G-XWBD. It seems G-XWBD may be an "unlucky" aircraft. Or maybe poorly built! The aircraft had a hydraulic issue at Toronto on 12th Feb.
Just 4 days after return to Heathrow, yet another hydraulic issue. And weren't there rumours about nose gear mishaps at Toulouse prior to delivery?

Cranford agreement
So I assume Heathrow will now go ahead with their granted planning permission to amend the taxiways etc to allow departures on the Northern runway. This will relieve residents in the west of the 18 hours of landings whilst on easterly ops.(Westerly ops have a change at 3pm). They ignored their own application to wait for R3 DCO before going ahead as it would cost £'s, significantly less than the PR budget £££'s
