This is a thread of 2 halves, is it not?
On one hand, we have LAX, Scottie Dog, dobbo-dobbo, Gavin and MANFOD gushing excitedly about all these new 'bookable' services, 'Masterplans' connectivity and leg-room.
And then along come Baltic Skies, Loghu, Council Van, M62, A Tis, doublesix and Rutan, telling us of the harsh reality of NW air travel and it's connecting ground-based infrastructure......Or apparent lack of it
Shplendid!
There appears to be little, if any, 'joined up thinking', somewhere along the line/road/airport/tram-way/bus-route*.
