Teesside Airport is going to be hosting an air show on Saturday 29 August. What do we think are the chances of Northern Rail having some of the four trains per hour (two in each direction between Darlington and Middlesbrough) calling at the station?
For those of you who wish to arrive via public transport, Tees-Side Airport Station is only a few minute walk away from the airshow entrance. We will be putting on more trains in the day to take you direct to the station, further details will be available shortly.
The "Getting Here" page actually says:-
How convenient is the station for the actual event?
Is there much of a walk or will a shuttle bus need to be laid on?
Problem is the road is too narrow to be safely used by buses if people are also walking down there. Even if they cut the grass, people with buggies etc. will want to use the tarmac.
The only thing down that road is the station so they'll probably just close it to vehicles and make it pedestrian only.
Press cutting says no trains will call at Teesside Airport for the airshow as the bridge is not safe enough to cope with expected passenger numbers.
There will be a park & ride set up from Darlington Arena and Durham Lane Industrial Estate.

Do you think this is a ploy to keep the passenger numbers down , there could be the equivalent of a number of years passengers on just one day! Potentially would increases in passengers make it difficult to close the station if they so wished?

It was stated on BBC Breakfast this morning that it isn't. Who knows?!The website still says it's going ahead? It even mentions holding a minutes silence for the victims of Shoreham so it's clearly been updated since then!
