There is an annual cap of 480,000 aircraft allowed to use Heathrow, however, the number of passengers using the airport could rise from 66 million currently to up to 95 million once redevelopment and construction of terminals are completed. Do we have sufficient surface transport to cope with the numbers, particularly in West London at hotspots like Hammersmith and Paddington?
