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. OK Luton's a bit further from being full than the other 2, but it's still filling up 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. I have to say that I didn't notice, as I know exactly where the airport in "Kent" is, that it is not at Marsden is moot No one would want to fly from heathrow if it didn't have 2 rail links and a motorway going to it. Don't be silly.Â* It's reasonably centrally located in SE England with a population of about 15 million within an hour and a half's drive an hour and a half from Manston sees you reach about a million people The road to Manston isn't bad, it's just at (one of) the farthest corner(s) of the country 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. Agreed It would be easy to rail link Manston (moving the terminal would be easier than building a rail spur) But it's still going to be 1 and half hour away from a London Terminal. That's just too far JOOI what's the travel time from a London terminal to Luton? -- Graeme Wall This account not read. |
