Could not have worded that better .
Btw. Point of order . It's not been called ' Yeadon airport' for many years.
I was going to ask if you had missed LBA -Jet 2 New York flights - not to JFK.
I say again Church Fenton is a no go.
It's too close to the military training corridors for one.
Next it's too close to the end of the proposed High-speed rail.
Added to that it's too close to the planned large alterations to the M1/A1)M) ( linking them to allow more traffic movements there) .
Point is so much going on in a small area will have nimbys and green party lot crawling all over it for years.
Why expand C.F.. When DSA , is slowly establishing .
With large sums spent on access. Changes were made to the highways England owned motorway to assist in that link road .
Plus the europort and large government backing for an ECML spur in future .
That's a lot of cash to throw away and have to pass planning buy acres of land to build a long and wide enough runway ( maybe two ) if your closing ' Yeadon '.
Where is that money coming from?.
Leeds city council still cannot agree years after closing one of the best inter suburban local rail networks out of London - how to provide a public rapid transport orclight rail solution.
It's pie in the sky. You may have been right BEFORE DSA was built and the ten years prior and during that ' Yeadon was getting extended '.
IF you felt strongly then, there are mechanisms in local government to first petition town / parish councils then county plus MP then gather signatures ( see the borders rail campaign for phase 2).
Then you might have got there.
But to hijack a Doncaster thread which some of us see a new post and hope it is actually news about DSA.
With something that won't happen isn't helpful.
This country is on a financial knife edge .
If they couldn't replace Heathrow how do you see them while spending a pittancecon transport in the north, doing essentially the same up here .
Best advise is let be.
Your stuck with LBA it's your local airport. And it's busy so they must be doing something right .
