This month's Australian aviation has a page 2 story on SYD second airport saga. It mention that the cap could be easily lifted to 100 movements an hour with the improvements of GBA and RNP being used.

The GBAS is currently out of service while they start installing an updated system in the coming days.

London's 6th airport, London Southend, has just been announced as Easyjet's 20th base airport. Southend is 55min by train from London Liverpool St station. Easyjet has signed a 10 year deal with the airport operator and will operate flights using A319's to Europe, expecting to move 800,000 pax in the first year.

London now has 6 reasonably sized airports in an area only slightly larger than the Sydney basin (Luton, Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Southend, City)

I wonder if London's 7th airport arrives before Sydney's 2nd

I believe they got 7 already. London Manston airport but its a long way out in the county of Kent.
