Hardly a program! - More ... an opportunist selection of peak period breaks! (Less than a month in duration)
On a more serious note, which I know will be controversial to the "die hards" of Teeside; DTV is a joke as an International Airport and the arguments against all aversity to keep it as a viable "major" passenger port in our North East region is only delaying its funeral ... and more importantly, delaying the emphasis which should be applied to Promoting Newcastle Airport as a true International Airport serving a greater population to a wider international market.
We can
then resource better rail and Express coach links from Teeside and Northumberland (as proposed in the plan submitted by Lord Adonis)
The North East via Newcastle can then be as sucessful as Manchester is for the North West! - Please read Lord Adonis' report. All of Teeside could connect to Newcastle International Airport in less than 50 mins!! .... (Less than centre of London to Heathrow!!) - and would attract links to US, Asia, More of Europe etc... with its increased market / population capture area!
