They'll be non-profitable routes, O'Leary is very good at blaming others when things don't pan out as desired. Apart from anything else it gets people discussing Ryanair, just as we are now.

As above, there are very few reasons why a local authority can decline these permits. Fundamentally utility companies just tell the authority and then carry out the work. 1758270077 As above, there are very few reasons for declining these permits. RRB buses isn't one (and noting that it wasn't...

Which is a different scenario then.

To repeat, councils have no control over utility companies wanting to dig roads up.

Depends on who's doing the repairs. Utility companies are terrible at liaising with councils about when they need to do work, and sometimes it just needs doing then if it's for a service.

You need to be looking at the prices for long-haul destinations with MME-AMS as the first leg, compared to say direct flights from MAN or LHR with all the travel and additional costs that creates (parking, hotels, rail tickets etc). I'd imagine the number of people choosing to fly to just...

Indeed. The capital funding may be from gainshare, the mitigation for operating losses certainly isn’t, it’s from the normal council budget.

Terrible news if you’re a South Yorkshire council taxpayer that’s going to be footing the mid-high 7 figure losses (from CDC’s own business case and described as ‘overly-optimistic’ by the Subsidy Advice Unit) for at least the next ten years (agains, from CDC’s own projections). It’s not as if...

Not really, it's far too verbose and tries to take O'Leary on at his own game, which isn't going to end well.

Good point well presented! it is indeed Bile Beans. 1756741509 Just repaint them

There's a few in York, the best known one being the Brain's Beans advert on the end of a terrace near Monk Bar. They're maintained and repainted periodically, as they should be, they're part of social history.

The CAA has already said that what it gets back isn't likely to be the same (or as much) as what it previously had, which just adds more uncertainty for airline operators.

It's worth noting that injury and fatalies on German motorways are already higher than the UK on limited sections to start with and significantly higher (more than 20% higher) on unlimited stretches (and that's based on per million km driven, so its a fair comparator). This idea that autobahns...

They absolutely do... all the big distrib firms set them at 51-53mph and have done for years, as that's the sweet spot for fuel consumption for most HGVs. Some of them even have the number on a decal on the back of the trailers stating that that's what they're limited to, it's nearly always...

It's one of those strange limits like PCVs, the speed limit is 60 but all vehicles over 3.5t (less a few exemptions) must have a speed limiter set at max 56mph.

Most HGVs are limited to 51-52mph for fuel consumption reasons, the actual limit for them is 56mph on a motorway. Firms aren't going to change the limiters just because the legal speed limit has risen. 1755092116 As above HGV speed limit on a motorway is actually 56mph but the 'sweet spot' for...

No, it's because the decision to apply for funding isn't being made until mid September. As previously, there's only one interested airline, TUI, plus 2Excel have said that they'd move their 727s back there as it's closer to the North Sea.

I've been in a tribunal where a claimant refused to settle out of court and the judge actually warned them that if they went through with it they'd be unlikely to ever find work in the industry again due the nature of their contributory behaviour to the dismissal. The ex-employee went through...

The most exposed sections along the cliffs are closed already due to the Bransty tunnel being closed. The line south of Sellafield and north of Workington is nothing like as exposed.

Yes they do…
