I'm a bit out of touch here - did the final Heathrow leave on Saturday, and was it marked in any way?
Teesside was one of the best stations in terms of ground staff, well-run and tight-knit. This is all utterly unbelievable.
On reflection, when Midland started the LHR-GLA/EDI/BFS routes circa 1983, suddenly Teesside wasn't the premier route anymore, despite it's high-yield traffic. Our aircraft used to get "nicked" by ops on a regular basis to fly ten passengers to Belfast, rather than fifty interliners on the 333, so that the company did not lose face in front of BA. What's happened, ultimately, is the logical conclusion of this policy.
