Editor's Notes
- Airports are where the opportunity for integration remains the greatest. Passengers value good road and rail links. Importantly the airport hub model is there to meet the needs of connecting passengers who don’t live in London. The area of focus should be the end to end experience. The main missing link as far as Heathrow is concerned are good rail links. In fact this applies to the UK in general. The integrated model, when done well can provide real benefit to customers, the environment and the providers. Take France for example. Lyons to Paris used to have 50 flights. Now there are none. Brussels to Paris is I believe no longer served by plane – apart from SN Brussels perhaps? So who benefits. The carriers get a greater market reach for connecting traffic, they get slots back to use on longer trips, the train companies get the volume and the customer needs can still be met. How did this happen? Good foresight and planning on behalf of the French. One problem is that someone has to pay for it. The French funded it in the way the French fund things. I’m not sure how but it’s a mixture of taxes, grants, subsidies and the belief that if its built it will be used and will payback over time. Things don’t work like that in the UK. We believe that if the market wants it, it will pay for it. Further opportunities are opening up overseas but it seems the UK isn’t ready for it yet? Space is more of an issue here than in some markets of course. So what are we doing in the meantime?

- The `Poop-poop' rang with a brazen shout in their ears, they had a moment's glimpse of an interior of glittering plate-glass and rich morocco, and the magnificent motor-car, immense, breath-snatching, passionate, with its pilot tense and hugging his wheel, possessed all earth and air for the fraction of a second, flung an enveloping cloud of dust that blinded and enwrapped them utterly, and then dwindled to a speck in the far distance, changed back into a droning bee once more. Toad sat straight down in the middle of the dusty road, his legs stretched out before him, and stared fixedly in the direction of the disappearing motor-car. He breathed short, his face wore a placid satisfied expression, and at intervals he faintly murmured `Poop-poop!'
