You asked for figures about how people access the airport. It is obvious to anyone that Heathrow attracts a lot of road traffic now and so logically extra capacity with another runway would increase this. The Davies report ( a very quick search) talks about trying to mitigate this (couldn't deny that it would increase) by eg a congestion charge - quote: 14.77 There SHOULD BE (my caps) a major shift in mode share for those accessing the airport in the event of expansion with more passengers and employees choosing public transport modes over cars. The percentage of people accessing the airport via public transport WOULD (!) increase from 41% to 53%. This COULD (!) rise further if a congestion or access charge for motor vehicles was introduced as discussed below. |
