I had tried to use Teeside in the past, but when I was up North there was no way of getting there without a car as the airport station had closed, with trains being fairly irregular there anyway. Has anyone any idea if they plan to reopen the station at all? Frankly even with the slow Metro, Newcastle is always going to win on the public transport front if located in between.

One train per week stops at the station (every saturday morning I think) in each direction, I think the reason being that it is so far from the terminal. They could set up a minibus/bus service to the station from the terminal.
The other way of getting to the airport is by bus, with a bus every hour from Darlington, and a bus every hour from Middlesbrough. These buses could be extended to serve the rail station.

Teesside - Heathrow

Teesside's air link to London was today given a vote of confidence as operator bmi announced an expansion of the route.
The company is adding a fourth daily flight to the timetable of the region's connection with the capital.
The new lunchtime connection, which will be up an running by the end of October, will increase capacity on the route by 37.5pc.
The news comes just weeks after bmi said it was replacing its 101-seater aircraft on the route with a 130-seater plane.
Teesside Airport's managing director, Hugh Lang today welcomed the increased commitment from bmi.
"This is excellent news for our business community and further proof of the airline's continued confidence in this important route."
Fears had flared for the future of the link after bmi cut its daily services from Teesside to Heathrow from five to three flights in 2000.
But now from October 31 a total of four lights will operate daily between Teesside and London.
Adrian Parkes, bmi commercial director said: "This improved schedule reinforces our commitment to the Teesside-Heathrow route, the longest established route on the bmi network. The extra flights will provide a better regular daily schedule to and from the capital that will be of enormous benefit to business and leisure travellers alike."
The news was also welcomed today by the region's business leaders.
Alistair Arkley, chairman of the Tees Valley Partnership and chairman of Billingham-based pub group New Century Inns, said: "I'm delighted by the news. This is a key lunchtime flight - which has to be a very good sign for business.
"It's very good news for anyone with connections with the region."
Seats are on sale now with fares starting from as low as £38 one-way, including all taxes and charges, when booked online at flybmi.com.
Richard Whitehouse, commercial manager at Teesside Airport, added: "The ability to fly to our capital city and the world's busiest international airport is a tremendous asset to this region."

Great news for Teesside, I must say, it's been coming ever since they introduced the A319/320 to the route!
Hope the Flybe gang start BHD-MME, just so baby can give that up and concentrate on long-haul (compared to BFS!)

The based MD83 is EC-FTS at the moment, the difference between the MD82 and MD83 I don't know, but the MD87 is a lot shorter than the MD82/3.....sort of like a B736 to a B738.

I would guess A/C change is possibly for maintenance reasons as although there is a Spanair techie at MME what one man can do is limited ie no huge range of spares. Toy town International, Airbridge ha ha! Lucky to get a bus if stuck out on stand 1 in the rain. Usually the charters are a short walk from the terminal.
R23 is usually used but in light winds the option for landing traffic on 05 is available, subject to traffic, as you come in straight from GASKO.

I said a while back that Eastern where to put a J41 on the Aberdeen route and now they have announced it.
Two of the four rotations a day are to be done by the J41 with a new Sunday service, also done by the J41. Ok not exactly a complete upgrade of the route to J41 like I said.
Along with this I was also right about the expanded Heathrow service. 'no no no' do u believe me now? You have queried my information in the past. I don't post items on here unless im sure of my facts.

The new Sunday service originates in Humberside, so is a HUY-MME-ABZ routing, back to the days of AirUK!!!
Also, the Humberside schedule is do go down to 4 times daily with an all J41 operation, so no early out of ABZ. Will Bmi take the route on?
Regards
Mike
