(15 May 2013, 11:51 am)gtomlinson Newcastle won't get a US flight outside of the Jet2 charters to Newark.

I could be wrong but I don't see it happening

We'd be far better off getting a flight to another European hub (where a huge amount of our exports go) like Frankfurt


There are already direct flights from Newcastle to the USA: http://flights.thomson.co.uk/thomson/en-...rtCode=SFB

Yes but seasonal charter flights to a holiday destination are different to a scheduled flight.

Thomson won't carry business cargo to Sanford

The airport wants a daily link. They won't get ot.

I'm aware of the difference between charter and scheduled flights. My comment was in response to your previous assertion that "Newcastle won't get a US flight outside of the Jet2 charters to Newark.", which they clearly have.

I don't think Thomson would care whether passengers are flying for business or pleasure - the flights are freely available to book independently of a holiday/package.

Agree there's little prospect of a daily service to the US, passenger numbers would just be too low.

To my initial comment ' Newcastle won't get a US flight outside the Newark and Orlando charter flights'

If that makes things clearer.

I think you miss my point about business cargo. The Emirates flight accounts for a massive massive proportion of cargo handled at Newcastle, if it wasn't for the huge cargo amounts, Newcastle would still be receiving an old A330 kit and at the bottom of the line.

Whereas the fairly antiquated 767 that Thomson use won't carry any business cargo at all so is of little value

Although a suggestion to create a roads & infrastructure thread, was never taken forward, the NELEP thread is possibly relevant to the widening of the A1 Western Bypass, Silverlink and also Testo's roundabout improvements.

They need to do something, I passed through yesterday and people were queuing for ages to get into the retail park.

Also has there been any more on the dualling of the A1 North of Morpeth, had a look on the highways agency website but couldn't find anything?

I don't know unfortunately.

Found this quote.
Quote:David Cameron: "I have made clear to the Highways Agency they can start spending the money today on the preparations necessary.

"I believe they will be able to get this started during the next parliament on the dualling and on the improvements north of Ellingham they may be able to get some of those done faster.
"The work starts now, the money is available now. They can get moving from today."
from http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/nort...on-8204578.

There seems more holes in there, than his usual patter.

I'm not optimistic like, things clearly didn't start "today" or we would have seen something by now. (Not expecting a dual carriageway to be done and completed Wink just surely there would be something on the highway agencies website)

Very good site is pathetic motorways. And the Tyneside story really does underline how "motorway mad" the city was to have been, before its policy change in favour of metro development.

Be interested to know how others view the plans for Percy street - seems to imply there'll never be a queue to the car parks....!
