Thanks chaps for the informative replies to my original question. Now I have a supplementary question;

Presumably the taxiway can only be used as a runway for easterly landings? If I recall correctly, it lines up rather nicely with the restaurant in the South Terminal - if you catch my drift...

What restaurant would that be?

Taxiway can be used for any landings east or west but I don't think it has ILS and it is no way near as long as the main runway nor as wide.

I think you may be looking here at taxiway "J" which is only used as a Taxiway, I think even that is south of the terminal but 26R/08L is definitely South.
