Listened to BBC Three Listeners radio today and they interviewed a rail transport expert on the news of the airport wanting to create a new rail-link...

You can listen to this on the below link and fast forward to 2hrs 22mins 50secs.

Some very interesting points and he clearly points out the most likely option would be a tram or light rail system similar to the Docklands Light Rail or People Mover at Gatwick connecting both terminals.

He did however make a very good point that regardless of what this rail link is, it still gives the airport a severe disadvantage compared to the other airports that have direct rail connections to the main terminals, and how passengers still need to use a seperate mode of transport to get up the hill, once getting off the train.

Anyway have a listen!
