Amelia, RE stopped the LDY-BHX and LDY-MAN in the summer of 2005. If I remember correctly both routes were increasing pax numbers nicely, (~1800 a month on the BHX and ~2200 a month on the MAN by the end, with available seats around the 2500 mark).
I can't recall why they chopped the routes, but I think it had something to do with them not getting the PSO at the time.
Any return of these routes, or any others, would obviously be very welcome, but I can't see it unfortunately.
