Although I want to go to LPL (to see an old Pal who lives in the heart of the City) a trip flying from SOU to MAN via BFS was slightly quicker and cheaper at £43!

Beat that folks stuck on the M5/M3/M6 whatever, or on Cross Country bloody trains...LOL
So who is making money there? Talk of increased pax numbers and breakeven figures only makes sense if the airport is getting the same return from each added passenger. And does the airport make as much money out of pax arriving by train/bus as they do by car?
