    Hc, Yes indeed, I spend too much time ruminating about the A90.

    Do your hopes also include the previous suggestion that a yellow box would soon be painted for the crossing? If not should we be requesting a tiger crossing?

    AC - I expect the yellow box will take longer but I will ask.

    There was a couple of workies on the site last week with a digger, so I tried my luck by asking if they were doing any tarmaccing but they weren't...

    Scotland's most 'succesful' public transport project? Even has a dedicated tramway and 24 hour buses to different corners of city.
    14million passengers and 6th busiest airport in UK.
    Top ten destinations Amsterdam, Berlin, Copenhagen.
    London not in top ten as train is more convenient if often more expensive.
    As we don't have a car it is convenient on rare occasions we fly.
    Many people in Scotland use Schipol as a hub to avoid London's various terminals. Dubai and Doha are now linked too.
    Brexit and Covid-19 will impact.
    Next big trend is everyone having a camper van I hear and these campervanners will particulate their way huge distances.
    Maybe a ferry from Rosyth will re-appear to cater for this new tourist trend.

    Plans for a new access road to Edinburgh Airport from the Gogar roundabout have been blocked by the Scottish Government.

    The proposed 3km stretch of road, designed to ease congestion and provide an alternative to the busy Eastfield Road, currently the only road into the airport, was refused permission by the council in 2021. The decision was appealed, but now ministers have confirmed the refusal, saying it conflicts with the development plan for the area.

    It was great to spend time at @EDI_Airport talking about their planned Surface Access Strategy - this should help maximize the number of staff (7,000 on site daily) & passengers using public & active transport. We also discussed decarbonising: 1️⃣

    Flights.
