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. |
