The lease was signed by Doncaster Council as the airport is within their area. Our local TV news covered the story this evening, the telling line from Simon Calder was = 'its been many months since the airport closed and I'm not aware of anyone who has missed it being open'. The story...

Mayors are supposed to be about regional government and have responsibility for larger region wide projects, transport gets most attention, but they also support delivery of housing and assist business growth. Apart from the Mayor its a largely unelected layer of Government as political...

Aer lingus will be an Airbus jet and it will probably take longer to taxi at Manchester and Dublin than the flight! Emerald will be a 70 seater prop jet which will be a slightly longer flight. I always enjoy a prop jet, noise cancelling earphones are worth having as they are noisy. I've...

Anyone who owned a new Morris is now in their 60s. Anyone younger remembers them for how bad they were. MG brand has been lost since they decided to stick their badges on Metros, Maestros and Montegos. People who buy new ones now do so beacuse they are cheap, not because they always wanted...

A friend has just picked up a used Taycan for business tax purposes. No idea which model or battery, but it shows than 200 miles on a full charge. Its an expensive car for his daily commute as for longer trips he needs to use the family Range Rover.

If its ANPR it will probably become a 'robo claim' by the 'system'. There will be a mismatch on the database, the system will identify this, the system will apply for keeper details from your actual reg, the system will send you an invoice, the system will ignore your appeal. Proper car park...

I would hope they have considering they now have no choice but to do so.

How times change. Many years ago I saw a Man Vic service at Leeds and jumped on at last minute as I was going to New Pudsey. It was only as we left it was announced the first stop would be Morley! I wasn't aware of the new service to Man Vic via Huddersfield. Guard came round and I...

I've suffered a late swap from 9 to a 10 car Azuma unit on a Leeds - KGX service. It wasn't a pleasant experience, largely because communication by staff explaining this was non existent.

Once A321 Neo XLR comes on stream it opens up lots of possibilities for higher capacity longer routes. However as stated above when you look into the price breakdown of a NYC Transatlantic trip the 'fare' is 5% of the total price. 95% is fuel surcharge and taxes.

Similar to HS2 argument that it was quicker to build new than disrupt existing roads for years, you also need to remember some traffic isn't allowed on motorways. A1 mentioned above is a classic case. Upgrading to full motorway isn't possible for long stretches because it would need another...
