And the reason Manchester is where it is and Leeds is where it is...look at MAN..trains from our side of the hill that actually take you into the airport...fantastic motorway system built to go past the airport (yes it can be busy) hotels built next to it...we have a poxy Travelodge and the worst roads to get there people have ever experienced...mind you Bristol Was no better 10 years ago so no idea how it is there these days..
The South Bristol link road was completed and opened in 2017. It helps feed traffic onto the A38 from the surrounding perimeter of the city.
To my knowledge Leeds is now by far the worst connected regional airport in the UK.
