I wonder if the management have looked at the reduction in public transport in the region over the past few weeks? The last bus to Richmond from Darlington is now 2100. It is no longer possible to arrive on the last KLM and get public transport to Catterick garrison. A taxi costs an arm and a leg. The serviceman on a short break from overseas can no longer easily get to Catterick to see his family without great expense. Teesside is one of the most difficult airports in the UK to get to. If the access problem were sorted more business would be created. It is easier to get to Newcastle or Manchester than Teesside, especially if you do not have your own transport. Open up the station, get more public transport and provide more popular destinations and passenger figures will improve. Simples!!!
