I think Doncaster airport is a long way off from getting its own railway station. Its the same frustrating situation as Leeds where to prove the viability of a new station you have to have an airport carrying significantly more passengers.
It was rejected a couple of years ago as "not good value for money". I think the local MP is trying to drum up a bit of free publicity.3180m from the terminal building to be precise.

Then again anything outside London is not good value for money. That's why nothing happens.It was rejected a couple of years ago as "not good value for money". I think the local MP is trying to drum up a bit of free publicity.
Not 100% sure, but I believe any airport has to have a throughput of 5m pax before a railway connection is considered.
Didn’t this MP suggest a line to connect to the Lincoln line - with the implication that this would open the catchment area up to ‘9 million’..? The original proposal was to reroute the ECML a couple of miles, slightly better prospect of working but hugely expensive. The latest suggestion is to build an entirely new line from the very quiet Doncaster - Lincoln line. I’d like to know which rail operator he thinks would run that serviceIt was rejected a couple of years ago as "not good value for money".
