    Easyjet news

    That's true at Edinburgh, but where it's just the later-arriving Loganair flights where I seem to get bussed. It doesn't seem to be true of Birmingham though

    Easyjet news

    The early flight from Edinburgh was a bus to the terminal last time I got it as well. I imagine some of the gates just don't have access to the domestic arrivals. In terms of placement, it's so much quicker to clear the plane through two entrances now the hang baggage charges are in place, so...

    That was a weird one. Fixed it now

    Could you send a screenshot to the info@ email address, or PM me? Sounds like there's something strange going on

    Azuma seating

    I would guess that the extreme underperformance of the seats might mean that they can get the seat manufacturer or leasing company to cough up for new cushions in the short term. I'd definitely agree that the frames need to go completely before I'll be able to travel in standard class on LNER...

    Traksy Website

    The adverts for the new site should be a small banner on the top of the original site. Something like this: Are you not getting the "Pick a station" form underneath the advert?

    Euston overcrowding

    The point isn't that the platform should be announced before the arriving train has emptied, it's that the train shouldn't be allowed to depart until a reasonable amount of time after the platform has been advertised. When the platform is announced, the expected departure time should be...

    Budget hotels discussion

    I haven't stayed in any hotel for years that doesn't have card entry on the front door, and usually a night receptionist who doesn't leave reception as well. I struggle to believe a hotel could reach 4 star status without it tbh, and I'd definitely be chasing a full refund if I had to fish...

    Easyjet news

    I always check in late, but it's been ages since I was given a middle seat between people on easyJet. I never buy a seat on any of them, but easyJet barely even seem to be trying to make you.

    London North Eastern Railway (LNER) First Class service

    I'm also fairly sure they had mini Pepsi cans last time I was on board. Maybe they are experimenting or working through some stock they accidentally ordered, rather than having decided to make a switch. Personally I'd rather the mixers came in big cans as well, but I worry they're more likely...

    Elon Musk - the world's "greatest" spiv?

    Cheaper than they were last week certainly. They're still trading at a massive multiple of underlying value though, and all of the growth potential that was predicated on has gone up in smoke over the last 4 months. The Stupid Big Bill arguably halves the remaining net income they do have. It's...

    Elon Musk - the world's "greatest" spiv?

    It's not fair to say they just ignored him. Some of them went to the trouble of getting a judge to tell him to do one.

    Budget hotels discussion

    Interesting that booking for Birmingham this week both Holiday Inn express and Hilton were as cheap as the cheapest Travelodge or PI, but with free breakfast and points included. Feels like we're a long way past the point where either is the acceptable budget option

    London North Eastern Railway (LNER) First Class service

    There's plenty of decent blended malts. No comment on whether that is one, but it should in any event be a big step up from something grain-heavy like Teachers or Grouse.
