Spot on Ncleflights re routes, impact of EDI etc. Getting back to the transport issues, I deliberately used the word 'perception' in earlier post re the Western By Pass - talk to anybody south of the river or read any of the comments on the possible closer of MME and having to use NCL instead, and that is what they think.
Probably not helped by the local media who bang on about how bad it is to try and stir up support for investment - bit of a double edged sword. I'm sure I've seen it quoted as being the most congested section of road outside the south east which seems to be a bit of an exaggeration...
