Obviously in development terms SEN has come a long way with Stobart's investment, but it's not just about having a shiny new terminal with it's own railway station, much as that may please local enthusiasts. Remember that Stobart are a business with shareholders, and those shareholders expect to see a return on that investment. It's by no means clear, at this stage, whether that's going to happen.
