Not JUST funding. An increase to 10 million is a target which is extremely unlikely to be achieved in the short to mid term. It is a catch 22 situation . No significant routes to attract pax.....therefore no railway....no railway equals no increase in pax numbers ....therefore no "demand" for more destinations. And the circle continues. No joined up transport policy from the idiots on the hill is ultimately to blame.

The document also includes the potential for a railway line that could connect Belfast International Airport to the network.

However, for it to be viable, the report says passenger numbers at the airport would need to increase significantly from the current 4m to 10m.
