A rail link is not such a daft idea if it's part of a regional transport strategy. Back in the 80s we used to throw up the Air Show Halt in no time for a one day event. So a station would not be a major problem. The issue at the moment is the lack of trains going past to the East. But if they could run a tram train back and forth every 20 minutes it would give an eco link to the ECML and trains to a lot of South and West York's. Obviously, there is not enough demand at the moment provided by air passengers, but combine it with a Park and Ride into Donny, it would be in place when future growth occurs. There's lots of spare space around for the car park.
