New train station for Robin Hood Airport
Thu, 03 Jul, 2008
Doncaster council has given the green light to a new train station platform on the Lincoln line that runs close to Robin Hood Airport.
The plans were submitted by the Peel Airports Group and are part of a long-term project to improve commuter links with the airport.
Doncaster council and Yorkshire Forward hope to develop the airport and plans include a 250-space car park and a rail link to the new airport terminal.
Robin Hood Airport's environment manager Clare Wilson said that seven per cent of passengers use public transport to access the airport.
"We are confident that future enhancement will increase that usage further and improve access across the region," she added.
Robin Hood Airport has handled 2.9 million passengers since it opened three years ago. In the past year, it has seen a 13 per cent increase in passenger numbers.
