Woodford has a 2292m runway (longer than BLK)
Would it not make an ideal low cost alternative to MAN? A terminal on the Eastern side of the runway would link onto the Poynton bypass (due to be built by 2010) and the Manchester Airport Eastern link road which should be extended from Handforth to the airport at the same time. Terminal would also only be a few hundred metres from West coast mainline which also carries local services between Manchester and Macclesfield where a station could be built or a link bus could link the terminal with Adlington station. Only 20 min by train to Piccadilly.
