Was to be expected, plenty of supporters of the Vulcan gave up long ago with the management or more mismanagement of the charity.

Interesting, is the railway line near ?

3180m from the terminal building to be precise.

I think Doncaster airport is a long way off from getting its own railway station. Its the same frustrating situation as Leeds where to prove the viability of a new station you have to have an airport carrying significantly more passengers.

We have the same over at Liverpool, and the railway line isnt really too far, about 2-3 miles. There is the parkway station which is good, but an improvement from there would be most welcome. A tram link might be easier. Why does everything take so long in the UK, unless you are in London of course, then possibilities seem endless. Just a bit of that would be nice......." levelling up " !!!??

It was rejected a couple of years ago as "not good value for money". I think the local MP is trying to drum up a bit of free publicity.
Not 100% sure, but I believe any airport has to have a throughput of 5m pax before a railway connection is considered.

Then again anything outside London is not good value for money. That's why nothing happens.

Didn’t this MP suggest a line to connect to the Lincoln line - with the implication that this would open the catchment area up to ‘9 million’..? The original proposal was to reroute the ECML a couple of miles, slightly better prospect of working but hugely expensive. The latest suggestion is to build an entirely new line from the very quiet Doncaster - Lincoln line. I’d like to know which rail operator he thinks would run that service 🤦‍♂️
 
Totally impractical idea, I can't imagine LNER/HullTrains/Grand Central being happy about adding time to their Journeys.
 
I expect all they will do is divert the hourly Monday to Saturday Lincoln Doncaster train into the airport

i must be a lunatic. Friday 25th Sept will see me doing a daytrip that involves me leaving my flat in Manchester at 1am and not getting back home until after midnight. All because I'm doing a Loch Ness and Scottish Highlands trip.... out of Glasgow

For some weird reason, my days off work tend to involve being out of my flat by 5am and not getting back until 10pm. Back to work and the regular "fix" of 7.40am to 7.15pm hours
