True. By any other mode of transport Gatwick would still be preferable
to Heathrow for people from a very large part of the south east.

Luton and Stansted

I was specifically talking about Heathrow and Gatwick and the places

mainly reached by car and taxi, and serve a wide area of the Home

It doesn't matter how they're reached. Almost all places from where
