Just thought I'd ask what's actually happening with SEN? Is the construction of the station underway? if so, when is it likely to open? Also, what ops are likely by the time/if the station opens - what will the proposed runway reconfig allow?
Just curious. We used to use SEN all the time in the early 70's and I remember it as fairly busy with BAF, Channel Airways, DAT etc.
If it acheives 'integrated transport hub' (and depending on what ops are viable), surely it must have a future? 40mins direct train service to London, less to 2012 sites in East London and much lower charges and more capacity than LCY I would have thought?
There's a great film of SEN in the late 60's/early 70's on the Pathe site if anyone is interested. Very nostalgic but also very funny compared to slick operation of airports today.
