Teesside Airport Station
Teesside Airport Station
Teesside Airport is to be re-introduced.
Ben has been sharing details of his latest scheme, which will involve demolition of the existing station, re-building it and then introducing shuttle buses between the station and the terminal.

How often is this shuttle bus going to run, flights from Teeside arent exactly regular
Whos gonna run it?
Will it be more than 1 PVR?
What happens if it breaks down and you miss your flight?
What happens if the bus get cancelled?
How much will this all cost?
How can it turn a profit?

Interestingly though, in this article from 2021, Ben said: “Work is going to take place on the station but convincing rail operators to use it requires us to show passenger numbers increase. But as always the plan is to upgrade and bring the station back into use.”. So I'm unsure why he's suggesting it's money from Government, now that they've cancelled HS2?
I do think the station needs maintaining and reopening, but that should be routine DfT spend, not down to a local authority to bid funding for.
In addition to a short shuttle bus, I wonder if a better option would be to run an Airport Express, similar to the 100 in Edinburgh. It's roughly the same distance from Darlington Station.

I’d have to drive to a station, to get the train to the airport, to get a bus to the terminal, to get a plane to…at some point if I could include Husky sleigh, I’d be using all the transports…??

The airport needs shut down. Complete pipe dream and a complete waste of tax payers money.
There's no sustainability for an airport every 80 miles. The money spunked on the airport would've been better spend on better rail links to Leeds Bradford Airport from the North and Middlesbrough to Newcastle for connections to Newcastle Airport.
