Default Heathrow third runway to get the go ahead

I think that needs verifying, as I don't think there's much room left at
the end of the similar EMT platforms when there's 4+5 car Meridian
parked there.


The 395's carriages are shorter:

(6+6)* 20m = 240m
(5+4)* 23m = 207 m

We also know a 5+5 Meridian fits, which is 230m.

The Kent platforms do extend a bit further north than the MML ones,
though they start a little further north also. I think both sets have
a usable length of at least 250m, possibly 260m, although I don't have
a detailed enough diagram handy to say for sure.
