That looks like it's just about on the position of the current A23. It
shows the new terminal building as being, as one would expect, about
as far south of the current runway as the current main terminal is
north of it. It's quite a distance from the current railway station,
much further than the North terminal.


The current main terminal is alongside the station!

And if you draw another arc mirroring the shuttle to the north terminal
(you aren't getting confused by the satellite I hope) it'll end up
exactly where the new terminal is pictured, just south of the eastern
end of the existing runway.
