Default Heathrow third runway to get the go ahead

I doubt that the current St P has enough domestic platforms (on
either side) to be the London Terminus for the high speed link to
the north. Also, are they long enough?


Not enough of them, and they are approx 10 carriages long - is that
sufficient?


I would have thought new high speed trains would be longer than that
(even the Pendos will soon be 11 cars long).


It would be awkward if the Javelins were longer.
