    interesting

    The test boring never encountered problems, let’s hope the EARL (Edinburgh Airport Rail Link) reaches fruition. 😎

    No threatened wildlife either, not counting chuck-out time
    at the nearest pub in Kirkliston! :rolleyes:

    thats possible.

    A twice daily departure would be cool 😀

    EDI might be attracting more attention if this takes off?

    I don’t think we will be seeing COA 777’s at EDI, certainly not for a transatlantic flight. I think the most likely will be a 763/764 service, if anything another B752 as previously stated!

    Illustrative BAA plans for EDI can be found here:Go To ‘thumbnails/FC39’

    Mmm 777, could be a posibility, but they cant steal MAN’s 777 OK!

    No worries on that front! Anything bigger than a DC-10 on a regular basis seems a no-no given the lack of suitable
    facilities. 😡

    Actually they are used as escape planes for 747’s, a bit like lifeboats are used on ships. They keep them in the hold just in case. 😀

    Yeh, the narrow gauge fence doesn’t show up with a big lens, it’s more or less invisible.

    What lens are you using Bod?

    On the subject of adding taxes to advertised fares, there were moves afoot in Westminster to oblige uk airlines to quote fares as all inclusive.

    There still is…published airfares must include all known
    charges..the internet evidently being a grey area 😡

    There seems to be a constant batttle to enforce the legislation.

    ‘Free’ fares and fares from 1p etc have been largely criticised by both the Office of Fair Trading and The Advertising Standards Agency.

    It would be more effective if folk complained to their
    local trading standards departments.

    They have the ‘teeth’, thanks to current legislation. They
    need the ammunition, get complaining.. :rolleyes:

    Ryanair and Easy Jet tell us that their average (single) fare is £30-40.

    The fares are cheap if you book early from ‘thick’ route
    airports. Book late and book from ‘thin’ route airports
    and there appears to be little difference from the fares
    charged by regular airlines.

    I normally fly lo-co from EDI-STN but EDI-LHR/LGW is
    often cheaper if I book late… 😉

    If they can beat 69p each way I’ll take ’em.
