The fact that trains are running during times that would be beneficial to the airport, were they to be operating in the opposite direction, hardly changes the fact that it does seem that there appears to be those who will not co-operate with the Stobart operation. This is all the more borne out by the pleasant manner in which you went about blowing a hole in the claim that the track cannot be released due to maintenance requirements. I did say that I could not vouch for my earlier remarks, but it is interesting to read that Expressflight has also heard something on the 'lines' of Network Rail not being helpful. I have further been advised that there are positioning trains that pass through the station after the last evening departure to Liverpool Street. Short of hanging around after my cocoa time one night I cannot confirm this is gospel, but my informant should know what he is talking about.
