Not sure why you would have to pay for parking, number plate recognition software is now very sophisticated that they can be programmed for short and long term stays.I went to the presentation at Yeadon Town Hall on Monday (and Im going to Otley tonight). I was disappointed that no one from Network Rail or Northern Rail was present. The parkway is being handled as a separate development which is not dependant upon the A,B,C roads.
I dont think it will work as a parkway, mainly because they will have to charge for car parking and it will have to be at least as much as parking in the on airport car parks, otherwise everyone will park at the parkway and get the free bus up to the airport. Why pay when Weeton and Menston are free (not sure about Horsforth)?
I see great potential for passengers arriving and departing by rail however this will only work if the trains start and finish somewhere other than York and Leeds (as currently). Starting in Scarborough, Middlesborough, Hull and running through the Parkway to Leeds, Dewsbury, Huddersfield etc as the current Manchester airport services do would be the ideal. The only problem I can see is that the track between Knaresborough and York might need upgrading to double track where it is currently only single.

A recurring theme in these parts is the motorways that didn't happen (and more recently transport schemes that also didn't happen) whilst they did go ahead in other parts of the country not too far away. Way back, the Pudsey to Dishforth Motorway would have linked the M62 with A1 and the planned route went right past LBA, more or less where Option A would run, along where Scotland Lane is now, just to the East of the airport. But of course, it didn't happen. The current Harrogate by pass, from the A61 as far as the A1 follows the route of the Motorway that was planned and then canned. I cannot help wondering where LBA might be now, had this part of the county seen the investment it needed, sooner, and with some vision for the future of the airport. We never seem to learn either - even the tram system that the Government binned in favour of a similar scheme in Edinburgh, totally ignored the airport - unlike Edinburgh, whose tram system only links the city centre and airport.Reg bigmans point, the original plans back when the m606 to Bradford was constructed was to have it all the way to keighley and beyond to the m65 but they ran out of money which is why it stops at Rooley lane,Bradford.
Yes it stops there like all the bloody traffic using it. Crap infrastructure once again. When will we learn to plan ahead in this part of the countryReg bigmans point, the original plans back when the m606 to Bradford was constructed was to have it all the way to keighley and beyond to the m65 but they ran out of money which is why it stops at Rooley lane,Bradford.
I don't see any new cameras at the airport. I wish I did! Same this week as before. Any info as to where you've seen them?
The cameras near the tunnel/roundabout have been there since long before the red route. There were some black cameras on Whitehouse lane, but now removed. Survey cameras apparently and had a notice next to them to say so. I came home that way a short while ago and still don't see any new ones.Seriously how can you miss them!
They are everywhere, strapped onto side of lampposts and others on poles. eg either end of the A658 tunnel and roundabout.

Expect strong opposition to this as the proposed route will cut through the green belt land between Holme Wood in Bradford and Tong/Fulneck Valley in Pudsey, Leeds. The Leeds Councillors for the area are already up in arms since they have not yet been consulted on the plan by Bradford Council whose plan it is.£64m New proposed link road between Pudsey and Driglington will almost connects LBA with M62.
