The Times this morning reports that Luton Airport is to build a new
runway in time for 2012 Olympics together with a new terminal and
monorail connection to Luton Airport Parkway.The City of London has
issued a report indicating that rail links will become increasingly
congested as a result on increasing employment in London and call for a
"step change in the level of investment".

Why not, rather than expand the airport, and create more noise and far
more pollution, build a high-speed domestic rail link and ban all
domestic flights to destinations served by said rail link?
