Thoughts
1. This will please Leeds Approach. Not.
2. It's doubtful if this will be feasible without the Link Road option one. The local roads are not good.
3. The level of the railway just before the tunnel is probably 30 metres below the level of the surrounding fields. It will be an expensive job in a constricted site. Getting your bags up some big ramps will be interesting.
4. I'm not sure what the zoning is that side of the airport but possibly green belt land.
5. I wonder what proportion of LBA traffic the model predicts will use train and bus. The park and ride aspect could be useful though.
Overall--- by no means a done deal. I wonder what Greg Mulholland and Stuart Andrew think.
So--- by no means certain.
