HS2 Parkway

Latest HS/2 parkway proposal station at M18 Bramley will only benefit DSA....but years away. Catchment population is not an exact science for air travel... If LTN is cheaper Yorkshire people will travel to LTN. Florist analogy is flawed because there arn't that many. Think supermarkets.. Morrisons, Asda, tesco, all sell the same products in same local accessibility. Flight travel is no different, all offering same product it comes down to price and availability of product. 1-2 hours to an airport is not a great deal on the one day you travel for a summer holiday, but 1 hr max will dictate convienience for a business flight where the company are paying. LBA currently offers more product than other local regional airports, so will win the market as long as the prices are as competitive as the next most accessible with similar pricing.
