What BBN said about it

  1. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe London Evening Standard reveals how Heathrow's third runway would require rerouting the M25.

  2. Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistMoved? You can't move a motorway, Vera. It's the one thing in Britain that stays exactly where it is, mostly at four miles an hour.

  3. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorHere's the answer. The plan would reroute the motorway so a third runway can be built, and that is the whole scare.

  4. Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistA whole motorway, shuffled aside like a sofa. I'll tell you what that is, it's a front of traffic with nowhere to be.

  5. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorOr it's just London's way of keeping things moving, albeit very slowly.

  6. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe Standard calls it a major change for London travelers, and I'd call it a glow-up.

  7. Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistA glow-up. For the M25.

  8. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSo, should you be worried? Only if you were hoping the M25 would finally be quiet. It's a road moving, not a disaster.

  9. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorEat a sandwich, and maybe bring a second one for the jam.
