They aren't being very rational then. The time to Gatwick from central
London is as good as that to Heathrow, especially if you don't pay the
extortionate fares on Heathrow Express.-

Many Heathrow passengers come from locations other than Central London.
I live in West London, and Heathrow is far more convenient than any
other airport. Gatwick is only good for people near Victoria or
Thameslink stations.-

Ever heard of a small station called Clapham Junction? Or noticed
all those railway lines in south London that can get one to East
Croydon? etc etc...

Has Boris Johnson or London Underground ever heard of Clapham
Junction?

They are extending the Northern Line to a housing development on the site
of the old Battersea Power Station instead of to Clapham Junction and
Wandsworth even though Wandsworth Council have offered to pay for the
extension to Wandsworth.

That Clapham Junction is not on the London Underground remains the
most absurd anomaly of London's public transport system

At least it's on London Overground now, Maybe they will start to notice it?

Yes, that's certainly helped.
