Sorry, but with no disrespect to the Teeside region I can say as a resident of the SEN catchment that a NCL route would have had far greater potential. Newcastle is a recognised weekend destination, Stockton less so. Newcastle is that little bit further which makes flying more worthwhile. It wouldn’t have been a Newcastle to London route anyway, it would have been Essex to Newcastle. I doubted NCL would have worked in any case. SEN-MME definitely wouldn’t.
