It seems the 1 braincelled person
Grow up, your posts are seeming more and more to be from a member of the junior Manchester Airport spotters society.
NONE of the Northern boost is a result of LHR
Really? That's quite a bold statement. Can you back that up with facts? No, because your making it up.
Its a direct result of that sole route MAN has
So
nobody from the north used the LHR to China services before the MAN flight then? That is what your basically saying. And it is me that is accused of having holes in my argument.
MAN may well the focal point for the route but its the whole region that benefits;
So a flight into LHR benefits nobody but the SE yet a flight into MAN benefits all of the north?
Boost the east-west trainline instead of these vanity projects of HS2 and R3 and then even more tangible benefits would accrue.
So build the countries infrastructure around Manchester rather than the capital. OK then, we are beginning to see your reasoning.
You have outlined how improved access from MAN to China has boosted the local economy yet refuse to believe that would be the case for other areas. You expect the whole of the north to travel to MAN for LH flights, something that would take longer and be more inconvenient that a shuttle into an expanded LHR.
Your argument makes no sense whatsoever so why don't you at least have the guts to outline the real reasons you are so against it and that it is nothing but a desire to see growth at your local airport unaffected to the detriment of those elsewhere in the UK.
