I have found out that there are now flights from Cardiff to Teeside (or Durham Tees Valley), but there doesn't seem to be a regular frequent service from the airport to Darlington (nearest town) apart from a once a week train and three buses per day. Am I missing something here?
I thought that they dismantled/were dismantling the station at Teesside Airport. There was rumoured to be a train that ran from Stockton on a Sunday lunchtime, but I don't think the line runs that way anymore.
Just as I thought. I found out there was still one train on a Sunday, and the rest just run straight through. But the newspaper article confirms what I thought. So I'll continue getting the train. They have got new domestic routes starting, so maybe the connections will improve. Fingers crossed!
