But the problem with putting an airport a long way off is that it's
also a long way from the customers, who therefore don't want to use
it. BAA invested in a splendid Norman Foster terminal, a railway
station right under the terminal and direct links to the nearby M11,
but that still wasn't enough.


Both Luton and Gatwick are miles out of London with arguably dodgy rail and
crowded motorway links, yet they're both very popular. There has to be more
to it than location and the train.
