Sure, and Porcine Airlines will be the first flight out. There is simply
no
way they can raise that sort of money on the open market, the government
will
be coughing up if they want it finished. And thats before you factor in
the
economic chaos that the delays on the M25 caused by putting it in a tunnel
will create. All because some idiots believed the spin that we don't have
enough runways in the SE. Obviously nobody mentioned Gatwick, Stansted,
Luton,

all filling up

Hardly. Look at flightradar24 to see the stream of planes not landing at
Luton.

London City and Southend to them. And then there's Marsden in kent which
is
soon to be turned into a housing estate. Go figure.

because next to no-one wants to fly from there

three attempts to encourage people to do so have failed.

It's pointless trying again.

Actually I got the name wrong, its Manston, not marsden, but doesn't matter.

No one would want to fly from heathrow if it didn't have 2 rail links and
a motorway going to it. Theres a rail line spitting distance from Manston which
could easily have a short branch line built to the airport just as happened at
Stansted and it would be a lot cheaper than any new runway at any london
airport, never mind heathrow. Unless you have a car you can't get to Manston
yet those in power throw their hands up and say "Look, no one uses it!". Well
quelle surprise.
