| My how these thread cross-fertilise. At the end of the page on disused stations we can read: "Heathrow Terminal 5 This isn't an abandoned station as such, but during the construction of the Heathrow loop to terminal 4 in 1983-85, some special preparatory work was done to enable the building of a station for a possible fifth terminal where it was then supposed that it would be built". In 1980,when it gave the go-ahead to Terminal 4, Aviation Minister Lord Trefgarne said, “The Government conclude that the idea of a Fifth Terminal at Heathrow and a second runway at Gatwick should not be pursued. This effectively limits expansion at these airports.” What a bunch of chancers! |
