In terms of connectivity to London, HS2 should capture close to 95% market share in time.
Remind me again when HS2 reaches Newcastle?

The issue is global connectivity.
We do use KL and AF (and EK) for global connectivity (LH isn't much good for us as our only link is DUS). BA is competitive on frequency, timing, terminals, loyalty schemes - especially against AF - but why the downer on supporting a British brand, especially one which is a major employer in the city?

Isn't competition/choice a good thing?
