Re expanding the offering, they probably have assessed that they have reached the optimum level. Looking at next Monday, there are 4 flights from EDI to BHX with flights currently no more than £46. That feels a pretty reasonable deal to me.

Early morning flight down to BHX and good flight times made the flight a better choice than Avanti.

If I’m ever of the need to go to in Scotland I invariably drive, but if I wasn’t driving I’d probably consider the train even behind taking the coach. Flying is easily the second best option.

With the exception of driving, I've done them all over the years. Timings of the overnight coach used to work nicely for going to and from grandparents in Leicester after work or indeed coming home from Birmingham. Having done a couple of days work down there and had a night out with colleagues prior to return to Edinburgh. My preference was however the train but price and reliability often dictated that the plane was the answer, especially when BMI baby and I think another budget type carrier were doing the service, flyby were never the best as far as I was concerned and although I used it, it wasn't my choice, and by the time the EasyJet Birmingham service came along my needs to reach the West Midlands had disappeared all together

EasyJet regularly change the times of flights as many of their domestic flights are effectively 'in-fills' for when their aircraft would otherwise be parked up.
Here in the IOM we don't get consistent flight times for our EasyJet flights. We get the flights when it suits EasyJet. Or not, when it also suits EasyJet.
Yes I have noticed this. There was an early flight from GLA to SOU on the Saturday which has been stopped. Early flights on a saturday morning change too but are useful as they save a nights accommodation on the Friday.

EasyJet have stopped serving the Isle of Man from Bristol and they sought to blame Air Passenger Duty for their decision. These changes show what we all know: they were lying.
I’d much rather they were honest in these pronouncements: “we can make more money flying somewhere else”.

Easyjet have wanted to move into Linate for a long time, and I suspect they'd be happy to base their entire operation there if they could.

Edinburgh to Birmingham out tomorrow back Thursday 10C/28D avoided "piggy in the middle" so seat money can be used for refreshments.
If you don't go for the "basic" Fare their add on fees are getting extortionate either for Hold Bag or Bigger Cabin Cab - easily more than the cost of the flight in some instances.

First flight Manchester to Newquay this year, and I'm on it shortly! Hopefully my small bag will fit in the small bag cage! The small carryon bag allowance is far better than Ryanair so I'd choose EZY if there's a choice.

Had to use a Bus on arrival into Birmingham Tuesday from Edinburgh.
Unusual in my experience.
Noticed they have jacked up the refreshment prices - A Coffee is 3.70 odd now= dearer than BA !!

That has happened with one of my Glasgow to Birmingham flights. Bus.
Been a long time since I have bought something onboard.

Have to agree that the add-ons are getting rather pricey now, I continue to justify it to myself that I'm paying for the reliability that the train simply doesn't offer so much of the time. And certainly in the case of most stuff on the ecml I'm paying for a better seat also, and a shorter time sitting in it even if it wasn't.
