Doesn't work out too bad for EDI or GLA... means a slightly shallower than 3degree descent to FL70 by TALLA/LANAK but no probs.
Lately I have often been cleared direct to LANAK or TALLA, then handed over to the next scottish controller and then given the MARGO restriction... not a major problem, but causes a bit of extra work reprogramming the FMS. (means putting the coffee down! ho hum)
