Not just trains. We're actually talking about surface access to Manchester Airport by public transport generally. Big changes are afoot with the imminent opening of Metrolink to the city and the fourth heavy rail platform for inter-city trains. A major opportunity exists for MAG to push forward its policy of encouraging increased usage of public transport by both passengers and staff. This includes existing users and others who may be attracted to use Manchester Airport by more practical transportation options from their localities.
Of course we're interested in discussing new air service expansion. But in order for new services to succeed good surface access to the airport must be provided. Significant improvements on this front are vital to the success of Manchester Airport in their own right. If you consider the big picture and the customers' door-to-door journey in real life (as opposed to just runway to runway) you will understand the logic and importance of the topic. No need to bang your head like that!
