So it may not technically be a "motorway" to the door of the airport. Not a prayer that the Western Bypass will be upgraded to assist the airport and apart from peak rush hour it's hardly the end of the world having some traffic issues. Folks seem to think they have some divine right to the smoothest journey in history.
Poor rail links from East Teesside (M'bro/Stockton)
A quick check on Trainline shows a train almost every 30 minutes from Middlesbrough to Newcastle tomorrow as an example. How often are you wanting?
There are way too many airports in this country which are too close together and it seems every feels they should have all facilities right on their doorstep.
