LN,
If you won't, I will
I think you are talking about OSL - very fast links into city centre, but also region beyond too. But MAN offers 6-7min frequency to Piccadilly and most services continue elsewhere after this. So what are they doing wrong?
Who is coming from South East to use MAN anyway?
I think public transport is any airport owner's dilemna - it is costly to bring in, and earns money for the train companies not the airport. I think LHR & STN effectively have a station usage fee built into the ticket cost so I guess they get some cashback, but
afaik, fares to MAN are similar to nearby stations?
Car parks bring in plenty of revenue, and if they aren't multistorey, the ROI is massive. However, they can easily be shifted elsewhere, or in this case I'm presuming that a Section 106 agreement would essentially say they've got to go?
