Default Jetpod - Woking to London in 4 minutes

That's nothing... Transport Direct (www.transportdirect.info)
apparently reckoned it could get someone from Edinburgh to Stansted in
4 minutes, walking.


It's become a bit more cautious and now recommends allowing 5 minutes
for this short stroll. To reproduce, ask

From: Edinburgh Turnhouse (Air)
To: Stansted Airport (Any Rail / Coach)
Depart: 7th January 10:00

and get

| Edinburgh Turnhouse
| leave 10:28
| Walk 2 mins
| Walk to Terminal Building Bus Area (Stance 18)
|
| Edinburgh Turnhouse (Air)
| depart 10:30
| Bus 100 22 mins
| Take Lothian Buses/100 towards Edinburgh
|
| arrive 10:52
| Edinburgh Waverley Bridge opp Waverley Station exit N-bd
| Walk 5 mins
| Walk to Edinburgh Bus Station
|
| Stansted Mountfitchet
| depart 11:05
| Train 7 mins
| Take one Railway towards Stansted Airport
|
| arrive 11:12
| Stansted Airport


I am particularly charmed by "Take one Railway", but somewhat
disappointed that it does not continue, "... add two Eggs and
one cup of Sugar, and stir vigorously."
