DOes anyone actually think Wolverhampton is viable as a passenger airport? It's apparently in the middle of nowhere, with no decent road links, and no public transport...?

It's also got zero facilities.

Are the anti-group out there as vociferous CAECA? THeir website seems quite tame in comparison, which is odd, as CVT was an existing airport with a decent runway _and_ a terminal building. This is essentially a "new" airport that previously only used to handle small planes? Don't see them ranting about PSZs and the like.

I also found a document by advantage West Midlands that effectively said WBA is just not a viable place for a passenger airport and RAF Cosford was, but as it was still in use by the RAF, it couldn't be used.
