Its prob more likely that the paint burning machine of the council is already booked out all summer on road works.
And two council deptments interacting with each other is always rife with problems. If it would have been a private booking they would have done it on over time so it would have been done and dusted with in a week.
Then nodoudt there are a heap of rules about having a lorry which for all intents and purposes is a large bomb full of gas etc airside. Unfortunately the blokes that drive it have been working for the council for the last 25 years and there are maybe issues getting them CRC checked for airport pass.
Then there will be SEPA involved and a risk assesment of contamination of ground water etc etc.
then if it damages the runway who will pay for it getting fixed cause they can't just get the council tar wagon round to fill in the damage. And as I know your reading this do check because the tarmac of the runway is different to roads.
So its proberly going to cost more than the total revenue off big fancy aircraft for the next 5-10 years getting rid of the old lines and getting the new ones.
