Are the Local Authorities really going to spend 'several hundred million pounds' [according to press reports] on rail links from Horsforth and Guiseley to the Airport? Some transport 'experts' say that ten million airport pax per annum are necessary before a rail link becomes a viable consideration.
It has taken LBA 25 years to increase from 1m pax per annum to the present figure......not exactly the fastest growing airport in the UK by a substantial margin!
Is it therefore wishful thinking to talk about railways? Are the local politicians really planning so far ahead.....not a characteristic they are known for when LBA is concerned, or is this a last ditch attempt to make a 'silver purse from a sow's ear'?
