A decision is expected today and it is about time. The government should hopefully decide to do the right thing and get this done.
 
Nothing will get done - whatever is decided not a turf will be cut and no concrete will be poured this will just go back and forth through the courts and only the lawyers will profit.

Timing is awful too - post Brexit with talk of the UK being isolationist and the EU after our financial services business and so on to fudge a decision on air travel so publicly is only going to make us look like we are closing down not open for business FFS.
 
Looking like Heathrow - Boris Johnson said he would lie down in front of the bulldozers to stop another runway being built - expect it up and running by Saturday with his full support then Lol !!

In a typical conclusion they were looking at either expanding Gatwick or a new 3rd runway at Heathrow. Seems the option chosen is extending runway 1 at Heathrow . That wasn't even part of the bid/plan !!! It was a 3rd alternate suggestion submitted by a private contractor - we are so shit at travel infrastructure planning and delivery
 
'Tis Heathrow. There is now a year's consultation. Wonder WTF they've been doing for the last twenty years! I've never flown from there, and I don't particularly want to. I like small airports - the smaller the better! My favourite is Palanga in Lithuania. They have three gates - 1-3 and 1 and 2 shared a gate when I flew. La Rochelle is nice. Yer walk into the terminal and there's the planes! Eindhoven is a good 'un, too!

I must admit I do like the French approach to these things. Zis is what we are having, and vous pouvez to eff off iff vous ne l'aimez pas. Oui?
