Or come up with a viable alternative.

Developing Stansted into a 4 runway airport with a high
speed train connection (south, north and sast) and
closing LHR completely.

I know that the locals won't like this, but there are far less
of them.

Bit bloody useless for all of the passengers living in the M4 corridor for
whom Heathrow is usefully situated. Shame that Bristol airport is such a
pain in the arse to get to. Otherwise, and if the flights went where I
want to go, I'd happily never use a London airport again. Especially
Gatwick shudder.

Like I said, there's going to be some losers here.

But IMHO something radical has to be done, and developing
LHR is not it.
