Live on BBC Tees tomorrow morning, you can call and ask him a question, I would like to congratulate him on a new train station at Teesside airport. All we need is a decent train service and more flights from the airport. I would also like him to try and get the St George’s Hotel next to the airport reopened, it’s been closed since 2018.
TBH I can’t see the train being used much, maybe a better way to spend £20 million, I regularly used the Metro from Sunderland to Newcastle Airport and there was only ever a handful of passengers. People can’t be bothered carrying cases/bags on and of trains preferring a taxi or friends or relatives to drop them off.

Lets see a train station then a walk to terminal, or get dropped off just to side of terminal then a two minute walk. Ive used Teeside twice since January, Benidorm and Malaga. Bcos there are only a few flights its great but dont think it can cope with many more flights.
Great staff andeasy thru security, but duty free is small and not many other shops.
