I note DTV now our local airport , having read page after page of gloom.
But if this new mayor can buy theme airport
This community needs choice, for one thing Newcastle may be a good airport and a decent route network.
But it's draw back is the A1 .
The current widening to motorway is now inexplicably held up.
North of that it's D2 all the way. Ugh doing 45mph elephant races.
Trains are not direct.
Yet now having been around this area having located from 59km from Knock .
I'M surprised at the huge size and urban sprawl of Teesside.
I noted a wind farm mfr.
The obvious oil rig near lotus.
Yet Teesside mirrors the HUY timetable exept the latter does have Thonson now doung two routes.
My thoughts and is be interested in your opinion.
Billund for the Green energy business tried and failed at guy Imho using bad timings and the wrong airframe.
Return the bucket and spade routes .
Alicante - Palma etal.
Paris.
Dublin.
And would there be demand for LCY?.
Or Stanstead.
Due to a lack of direct ECML rail access I could see how a London route would be well used if served by Flybe.
Would an Emb175 be an ideal aiframe?.
Anyway thank you for reading this is my second ever post.
