@timrichards We need to build airport rail to Keillor East, with Light Rail up Airport Drive (with a terminus just outside the Airport Property) and another temporary light rail from Broady to DFO, and then up to a Terminus at Quarry Road.
They should also fix and upgrade the XPT so that travellers do have an alternative to the Airport.
@Salvo Bit fiddly to change from train to tram with big suitcases though. They could just extend the 59 tram to the airport, but then you'd need to redesign them for luggage.
@timrichards it is only as inconvenient as changing from passenger car to shuttle bus for those who are forced to drive to the airport and pay for parking.
I’m more worried about the “last mile” between a tram terminus and the airport-proper.
I think it would be an adequate stopgap until the Airport management get their heads out of their arses and allow a real train station to be constructed.
