Ah the new year navel watching. TA you know that you can drive a huge wedge through Sion's piece. I wish people who know nothing about aviation just shut up. How many times do we have to tell people that the road connection is a non runner and there is no better example than the airport over the water. A rail link is also a non runner as there is no where near a big enough rail network for Cardiff to link into. Slightly more sense is the proposal for a Cardiff crossrail Tramtrain service that eventually could be extended as a tram link to the airport. But its bum's on seats that you need and for that the FM needs to get the UK and European economys' out of recession. The airport can handle up to 3mpa and only when it gets to 2.75mpa do you need to worry about terminal extension. Runway width eh! Sion get you facts right please.
