Not JUST funding. An increase to 10 million is a target which is extremely unlikely to be achieved in the short to mid term. It is a catch 22 situation . No significant routes to attract pax.....therefore no railway....no railway equals no increase in pax numbers ....therefore no "demand" for more destinations. And the circle continues. No joined up transport policy from the idiots on the hill is ultimately to blame.
The document also includes the potential for a railway line that could connect Belfast International Airport to the network.
However, for it to be viable, the report says passenger numbers at the airport would need to increase significantly from the current 4m to 10m.

In bygone days when the Belfast Derry line went via Lisburn to Antrim I found the trains fairly packed. Good catchment area, Knockmore, Ballinderry, Crumlin etc
When I use BFS I always drive. Train down to Antrim from up north never seems to correspond with the 109a Bus Service to BFS from Antrim Station, and if you cannot get bus then its a taxi from Antrim Station
Chicken and egg situation

I have seen A320 on STN and LTN. Do they use A320 on LGW?
Looking at Flightstats for next two days A320 operating at times from LTN,EDI,LPL and NCL
Will stand corrected if they use on LGW
