They do seem rather fixated on how "low demand" at the inner stations
would drag down the business case for other improvements. Quite why
Stansted Airport needs 6 trains an hour I do not know.


Because the current trains are running full.

STN has just received permission to increase its passengers by 50%. ISTM
that if this number is achieved, it is reasonable to expect a 50% increase
in rail passengers to the airport.
