There's no shortage of stands at LTN - just contact stands in the short term. The south stands came into use for the Air Atlanta 742 on the 23rd.
My understanding is that the work on the new contact stands has been slowed because they found a gas main in the way and TRANSCO - the gas pipeline have along lead in time and are the onlly people who can move it - "Don't call us you need the gas board", so we called Britsih Gas and they said "gas pieplines nothing to do with us you need the Water Board so we called that's life.... (Sic)".. result - unexpected delay.
It would appear that Luton Borough Council never drew up any plans of where they put services and the like so everything has to be treated with caution. This could explain the hand-digging that's been going on with regard to the pier project.
I guess bussing of pax will be the norm for a bit longer.
If eJ don't leave the tent soon, then they had better start repatching it - it looks a right mess when you get close up. A permanent solution has to be on the cards for easytech surely??
