:joker: and thats going to happen in 6 years ....please..... they still haven't finalised a date for the Elizabeth line to open, and when all those Polish builders bugger off.... who will do it...

[bots]

they are going to route the M25 into a tunnel under the new runway. That alone won't be finished in the time frame .... thats a huge tunnel in both length and width. Cloud cuckoo land

So much for reducing our carbon footprint. We all try to reduce single use plastic, recycle etc. and meanwhile, they're building another runway.
