Default OT - BA postpones long-haul move to T5

(I suppose they could bus them across the tarmac


BAA claimed it was impossible to operate a bus across the (seldom
used) secondary runway at Edinburgh airport. Absolutely impossible.
To be precise consultants acting for the former Scottish government
claimed that is what BAA had said.

This was all part of the assertion that the lunatic scheme for five
flat junctions and an underground station was the only sensible way
to get better public transport to the airport. Fortunately the
Labour Party were booted out of power at the election and that
scheme died with them. The current scheme is far more sensible, one
of the few sensible things the current bunch have done.
