Not entirely clear whether it's because BAA can't afford it, or whether
level crossing delays are an insuperable obstacle.

I've been intending to ask whether anyone's been closely following
developments on the Airtrack front for a little while - and now this
happens - most disappointing. I had wondered just how well this
project might progress, what with Philip Hammond being a local MP and
seemingly not being too keen on it - hardly an original thought I'm
sure.
