Maybe someone should publish these 'hidden' plans then.

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.

Hey! Why Stansted?

Because Stansted is the one with the least people under
the potential flight path(s)

Why not Luton

Because, like LHR, it's surrounded by a town

- much better placed for the transport links. Run a rail spur Stevenage -
Luton - Leighton Buzzard and you've got the WCML, MML and ECML all linked
in. If the Oxford - Cambridge line comes back to life, there's an easy link
to the GWML too.

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

How about this airport on an artificial island in the Thames estuary,
then? Even fewer NIMBYs!

Yep, I agree, but paradoxically this is an even harder sell

Have you ever heard of a place called Bishop's Stortford?

Nope. Is it anything to do with Bishops Waltham?

Only that in both places marrying one's sister at the age of 12 appears
to have been compulsory for hundreds of generations.
