Going back to that Transport for the North report: I really can't see the point of this sort of stuff. If someone ever decides to start services to China in the next 33 years it won't be because of this report.
Yes, it would be nice to have services to India, Toronto etc, but I think we could have worked that out for ourselves. Is there really any need to upgrade the A696 between the airport and the A1? Cracking bit of road. Nothing wrong with it. Sometimes a slight delay at the Kenton Bar roundabout but is that really hampering development of the airport? It amazes me that people get paid to write this stuff. Rant over
