God why the negative Sarcasm. ??. If you read any of the regional papers you would know that a key aim is to give Doncaster Airport a Station.
However the nearest line still means a he'll of a walk or a bus to the Terminal.
Imagine a family with cases etc etc having to walk all that way in bad weather?.
Also heavy rail is more expensive. adding
A new Tram train can run from Doncaster or Sheffield and then along to the new freight terminal where it would be simple enough to run Along side the new road link
A tram line to the front of the terminal.
It's been done at Edinburgh. And works well.
Why shoot it down as being so bloody out there and stupid when a cheaper option that can use both regular and tramlines.
And in so doing increase potentially incoming passengers to the airport who otherwise haven't the transport to get there or who could leave the car safely at home.
Plus it's greener than the manky old tin sheds that the local train operators use.
They alone would put passengers off.
A short spur tram line from the location of the head of the new rail freight terminal direct to the Airport.
And probably just two Tram sets.
Would be very much cheaper than A new build station planning. Plus altering paths on the current line where the old station was.
