Government’s Transport Announcement

15/01/2009 by admin.

With an election only 18 month’s away, Geoff Hoon’s announcement of the third runway for Heathrow can be no guarantee that it will happen - given that the Toriues promise to scrap it if the get in.

But now both parties seem to be supporting a high speed rail line between Heathrow and Manchester. What that will mean to Manchester Airport, I am still working out. But ask yourself this: If you can get from London to Manchester by train in 50 minutes, will there be any need for any northern offices of national companies?????
