There are two points I have noticed that have not been mentioned so far. 1) Night Flights - I believe these should be eliminated completely. I believe there are limited night flights at the moment, if flights are increased all night flights should be stopped. 2) The proximity of the existing railway line to the runway - If a plane came in short of the runway, as one did recently at Heathrow, the high voltage would make the accident ten times worse. If a train was present at this point it does not bare thinking about.
