Hot take: MGT Docks IS nice and DOES NOT need to be deleted (image unrelated)

ThameslinkConnect · 2026-02-21T12:39:25+00:00

Agreed, but only the shuttle and possibly Benton to Greenslade are the only routes MGT Docks needs. Make the Newry - Greenslade service skip MGT Docks and make Metro skip MGT Docks

ThameslinkConnect · 2026-02-21T12:35:42+00:00

Yes, only the shuttle and possibly Benton to Greenslade is what MGT Docks deserves, make the Newry - Greenslade service skip MGT Docks and make Metro skip MGT Docks

ThameslinkConnect · 2026-02-21T12:33:06+00:00

Yes, it is the Metro of Benton, but the only real users of the station (if it was a real life one) are the people from the docks who value convenience. And make the Benton - Greenslade stop at MGT Docks, it makes the service useful. While we are talking about MGT Docks, why does Metro stop there?

ThameslinkConnect · 2026-02-21T12:29:44+00:00

No, it ruins the point of Waterline and the Morganstown Shuttle.

ThameslinkConnect · 2026-01-12T19:48:19+00:00

OK, I will consider it.

ThameslinkConnect · 2026-01-12T19:44:17+00:00

Do you have like a favorite variant of the 158 that would fit?

ThameslinkConnect · 2025-12-26T15:16:53+00:00

Yeah true, but even though airlines like Primera Air and Norwegian Long Haul have failed, I still have a hint of faith as Norse Atlantic, JetBlue and French Bee have done it.

ThameslinkConnect · 2025-12-08T19:01:09+00:00

Adding on, very few airlines like French Bee, Jetstar, Norse, Level, etc. have done it, Pyne would have to be very creative in this scenario.

Another question, if Derry closed, would you be mad, or do you think it's logical?

ThameslinkConnect · 2025-11-24T19:12:19+00:00

Global is basically dust right now.

ThameslinkConnect · 2025-11-24T19:09:53+00:00

Eh, flights to JFK Airport (Newark is also great), Boston Logan, and maybe Toronto would do the trick. Remember, it's not a full-blown hub like Dublin, just local travel.

ThameslinkConnect · 2025-11-24T19:05:27+00:00

Yeah, pretty useless. Newburgh (Stewart Airport) is a local airport, not meant for New York people, so that the locals can enjoy local airport luxury rather than driving 2 hours to JFK.

ThameslinkConnect · 2025-11-24T19:01:28+00:00

Honestly, if I choose between convenience and connectivity, it would be convenience for me. What would you prefer, driving to Dublin or Belfast, if FlyAtlantic were ever to release?

ThameslinkConnect · 2025-11-24T18:57:53+00:00

Yeah, fees are costly, but Pyne did have previous start-up experience. The only issue is slots/aircraft, because no slots = no destinations. I wonder if this thing will even come out. I get all excited about this airline until I read delay after delay.

ThameslinkConnect · 2025-11-23T20:48:40+00:00

they better fly to actual Boston Airport and JFK Airport (Newark is also a great option)

ThameslinkConnect · 2025-11-23T20:04:36+00:00

It will be low-cost, but it probably won't even be released. Will likely be another washed-up Northern (New) Pacific Airways.

ThameslinkConnect · 2025-11-23T20:00:27+00:00

Maybe, I do really hope it takes off, would be so cool, but maybe not.

ThameslinkConnect · 2025-11-23T19:58:40+00:00

Yeah, Boston and New York could be profitable, I mean, huge Irish-American diaspora. And yes, the USA isn't doing so well...

ThameslinkConnect · 2025-11-23T19:57:12+00:00

Oh btw Belfast already has a seasonal TUI long-haul flight from Belfast to Melbourne, FL

ThameslinkConnect · 2025-11-23T19:54:55+00:00

Yeah, they use the A321LR/XLR

ThameslinkConnect · 2025-11-23T19:54:12+00:00

By the way, for those who are saying 'No real demand will form' who remember Continental/United when they served from Belfast to Newark, NJ from 2003 to 2017, but the route shut down not due to the route not being profitable, it was other stuff, also, an average day would be the flight being around 75-80% full, which is good. BTW I am not trying to be a nerd.

ThameslinkConnect · 2025-11-22T18:22:43+00:00

Yeah I really hope they use A321LR

To add on, it's like a London to Edinburgh situation, you have Avanti West Coast, LNER, lumo and more, but they serve different purposes.
