This isn't likely to be enough to really sort it out, though.

Why?



I fail to understand the obsession with the UK's nastiest airport. *

I fail to understand the obsession with denigrating Heathrow on this
group, I assume it is because it is in the south.

No, it's because it's a very poor airport by most criteria I can think
of. *

Such as? *The worst thing about it is it's poor access by public
transport for which I blame Charles Richard Fairey and that ruddy
grocer's daughter with her Great Car Economy .

Its internal links are very poor. IMHO there should be one internal
rail station. Said station should be on an internal transit system
looping thru all terminals.

That would require a coherent development plan that Heathrow hasn't had since
the 1950s. In the days when there were just the three terminals in the
central area, having a single station made sense. the Piccadilly line
extension took so long coming that they were able to incorporate T4 into it
without too much hassle but T5 is a whole different problem.
