Supposedly their are plans for a direct rail link from Southampton to Heathrow. I'd welcome this as a plane spotter, but would this possibly affect growth at SOU.

With the debate still dragging it's feet over a possible HS2 link with Heathrow any talk of a link with Southampton is just pie in the sky at this moment and if it were to happen it will years away from happening so I can't see it having any forseable affect on Southampton Airports growth.

As a failed first world country a link to LHR is just a a duluded persons wet dream. I'll be pushing up daisies before Heathrows third runway, HS2 let alone HS3 is built.

Me too. Seen and heard it before. If politicians were paid by popular results they would all be bankrupt. Hang on in there SOU and your enthusiastic spotters.
