so with the 3rd runway approval we get a 12 platform station built at thorney junction on the m25/m4 between iver and west drayton on the golf course and water works. GREAT. and....if the tories get in, which they will, they cancel the runway project and the station one gets the big hurrah. Chaos ensues and us travellers from Iver/West drayton can continue to stand in shabby overcrowded inadequate transport into Paddington whilst those huge numbers of people from Manchester and Cardiff whizz by on their way to Paris thus saving the planet. Great plan.................. Lets improve what we have then look at doing what we should re environment and airports. I am adding up the cost of T4,T5 the now planned T6 the improvements made to T1,T2 T3 the developmet of the train station and bus depot in the centre of heathrow, the cost of the new runway, the rail hub, the destruction of the land and environmet and trying to compare with the estimated cost of building a new airport off the coast in east london. Forward thinking? What a shambles.
