Dear Tom Rye, Tod Litman and TDM fans,

Tke care with the BAA example at Heathrow.  The ambitious plans for more
public transport at Heathrow are part of a wider strategy to gain
acceptance for the new Terminal (T5) at Heathrow.  This new Terminal
will add 30 million passengers per annum to the existing 54 mppa at
Heathrow with enormously damaging consequences for the surrounding areas
and global climate.  Also it is a wise move to get information on car
parking policies at any TDM.  Heathrow will increase its car parking
spaces to cope with T5.  Any TDM startegy assocaited with an incresae in
car parking spaces is seriously falwed and more influenced by public
realtions than by traffic/enviornmental objectives.

best wishes

John Whitelegg
