Robin Hood supporters seem to be putting a lot of faith in the so-called 'Airport Link Road'... but when you check the associated online info, you find that in fact the link road barely gets within 2 miles of the airport.

It's all here:

It'll be easier to get to Robin Hood than previously, but there will still be 2 miles of A-road and country lane to negotiate.

The question is, will any of this impress the airlines enough to persuade them to start offering the number of services required to allow DSA to break even? And even if the airlines do offer the services, are there enough people in the catchment area to fill all those seats?
