Gatwick Airport is the world's busiest single runway airport. It was also the first airport in the world to have a rail link with the first Gatwick Airport opening in 1935. After the Airport was taken over by the Government during World War 2, it reopened and the airport was rebuilt in 1958 with the railway station built at the current location, at the same time the A23 was diverted around its Eastern and Southern sides as a trunk dual carriageway. In 1976, the M23 opened along the M23 Spur at Airport Way (A23), and in 1989, the second terminal opened.
