All credit to Birmingham who have just spent 11 million pounds on the new Skyrail link between the Birmingham International Rail Link and BIA to provide a 90 seconds 'free' journey for rail passengers. One would presume this is in order to promote green travel plans and achieve sustainable and responsible targets for use of Public Transport.

Coventry Airport has still to cough-up enough money for a decent SSR for increased safety, (before starting on the subject of public transport or CVT's gold-plated fittings?).

Is 'cheap' and 'often' the only way forward as opposed to 'quality' with possible reduced 'quantity'?. (I do not think I have phrased that correctly so please do not take it as suggestive in any way).

Can both airports be successful in the future if each continually tries to 'out-play' the other (then there is Wolverhampton and NEMA)?

It is going to be interesting. Why would anyone want to go on holiday when they can be this entertained here?
