I thought that the main problem with XC was, in normal times, the overcrowding, not the reliability. And the awful Voyager trains. I didn't realise that it would take so long to drive to Brum Intl. Bristol Parkway any easier?
I'm in West Dorset chaps - twixt Weymouth, Dorchester, and Bridport. (rural but not isolated - lol well it once was !)
Have to get to Knottingley Yorks.

How soon do you need to get there? The plan is for SOU's opening hours to increase at some point, hopefully in early July, which will facilitate more daily flights once demand is felt to be there.
Eastern are only operating afternoon flights on restart as that's when SOU is open.

Looks like Eastern Airways are now taking on the ex flybe route from Leeds/Bradford to Newquay. Flights have just gone on sale commencing from July 9th 2020 operating 5x weekly MON-FRI using BAe Jetstream 41.

Ideally within next 4 weeks - but am fine now waiting to see the extent of the lock down release re more free up of our public movement, opening of hotels B&B's etc on 4th July....
Yes the timing's of all of Easterns' flights into and out of SOU suit very few...(LBA NCL MAN & MME)
BA LBA flights all have been canned from LHR
Eastern have a NQY-LBA or is it MME? from July which I can have a look at at - to drive to NQY from me is not too bad.

Hi all, just registered here to remind everybody to register their support for the new terminal as a matter of urgency. There are currently many more objections than letters of support.
As I am new I can't repost the link unfortunately yet. Hopefully somebody else can?

Need now to go to Yorkshire sooner than later so have booked the train to Doncaster on TUES which I can do from Dorchester West 05.41 to Paddington at 08.30
Taxi over to Kings cross for the 09.30 with an arrival of 11.09.
My client is picking me up there at the station.
Fare was not bad - Open return for £99 by any route (My ticket is also OK for Wakefield)
I can get back down here in the early evening, hopefully without problems.
Will use the plane SOU-LBA next time
