station at Kidlington

As for a railway station at or near Kidlington, it's very unlikely until and unless the airport becomes a lot busier.

Teesside has a station, imaginatively named "Teesside Airport". It's about 0.3 mi. from the terminal, and on a line that links Middlesbrough in one direction and Darlington in the other, but pax numbers do not warrant it being reopened, even before 2009 when the (BD) MME-LHR service was still running.

Good point! Probably not, but since we have the infrastructure, along with congested roads and expensive and crowded railways, let's put it to good use, and enhance the domestic air network.
