Given the cost and complexity of aircraft, the cost of maintaining them,
landing fees, fuel etc, you have to wonder exactly just how air is cheaper.

Because the only infrastructure which requires maintaining is the
airport at either end. The airspace maintains itself.

Thats a lot of infrastructure. I would imagine that in total complexity
Heathrow far exceeds the east or west coast mainlines. Control tower, radar,
ILS, baggage, runway & taxiways, hangers, underground fuel pipes, storage,
vehicles, security including fences, car parks, staff transport, commercial
premises, and probably 101 things I haven't even thought of.

Heathrow is complicated, but has about one flight a minute. Not many
long distance railways do.

I see the ELL is closed it for 9 days. I had my suspicions that it wasn't being
taken seriously as a transport link by TfL given its slow service and poor
timetable, and this rather proves it. Can you imagine any tube line being
closed for that many consecutive days now unless there had been a major
incident?

You're such a plonker.

I'll take that as a complement, coming from the man who sets the benchmark
of it on here.

A complement to what?

I realise that English clearly isn't your first, and perhaps not even your
second, language, so perhaps you should find a dictionary to discover what
complement means. Hint: it's not synonymous with compliment.

Oh clever old you, you spotted a spelling mistake. Pat yourself on the back
and be your usual smug self for the day.

From your previous answer, it quite obviously wasn't a spelling mistake.
You simply didn't know what the word meant. Have you now looked it up in a
dictionary, or asked an English-speaker what it means?
