That said the rail alternative with Avanti is piss poor and stupid expensive these days . At least Lime Street has an albeit slow competitor in London Northern Western .
And as Greenfinch regularly demonstrates alternative hub carriers are available these days; one that serves MORE onward global destinations at that, whilst Aer Lingus now serves many US cities via Dublin.
That said Aer Lingus seem to have a disturbing cancellation and substitution rate from what I have observed.
That can’t be good for public confidence
