(15 May 2013, 11:51 am)gtomlinson Newcastle won't get a US flight outside of the Jet2 charters to Newark.
I could be wrong but I don't see it happening
We'd be far better off getting a flight to another European hub (where a huge amount of our exports go) like Frankfurt

Thomson won't carry business cargo to Sanford
The airport wants a daily link. They won't get ot.

To my initial comment ' Newcastle won't get a US flight outside the Newark and Orlando charter flights'
If that makes things clearer.
I think you miss my point about business cargo. The Emirates flight accounts for a massive massive proportion of cargo handled at Newcastle, if it wasn't for the huge cargo amounts, Newcastle would still be receiving an old A330 kit and at the bottom of the line.
Whereas the fairly antiquated 767 that Thomson use won't carry any business cargo at all so is of little value
Although a suggestion to create a roads & infrastructure thread, was never taken forward, the NELEP thread is possibly relevant to the widening of the A1 Western Bypass, Silverlink and also Testo's roundabout improvements.

David Cameron: "I have made clear to the Highways Agency they can start spending the money today on the preparations necessary.from http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/nort...on-8204578.
"I believe they will be able to get this started during the next parliament on the dualling and on the improvements north of Ellingham they may be able to get some of those done faster.
"The work starts now, the money is available now. They can get moving from today."
I don't know unfortunately.

There seems more holes in there, than his usual patter.

No idea if anything has changed or moved on with regard to the junction improvements at Silverlink, although the Travelodge site is to be redeveloped.

Details of works to be carried out on Percy St and the approaches to it.
Not sure it compares to the Central Motorway plans as suggested like.
If you are unaware, this is a brill site http://pathetic.org.uk/features/tyneside/
Very good site is pathetic motorways. And the Tyneside story really does underline how "motorway mad" the city was to have been, before its policy change in favour of metro development.
Be interested to know how others view the plans for Percy street - seems to imply there'll never be a queue to the car parks....!
Coast Road works set to start.
