§ Chris GraylingTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport, Local Government and the Regions what his policy is on the Airtrack proposal. [19337]
§ Mr. JamiesonThe Strategic Rail Authority is sponsoring a demand study to establish numbers of air passengers and domestic (non-airport) users who might use an Airtrack service. Work on this is well advanced, and in the new year we hope to take a view on the next stage of development of the Airtrack proposal.
We are proposing to issue a consultation paper on airport policy in general early in the new year, and this will include consideration of public transport access to airports.
