Although not in total agreement with this deal I do understand that in Business it is “Dog eat Dog”. If this overall gets additional business for L.N.E.R. then this will be viewed as a success. Like a previous comment I would like to see an offer for the general user and by that I do mean all users frequent and others.
Come on Suzanne Donnelly I am convinced with your expertise you are able to come up with something.
Ryanair is rubbish. They started doing flights to & from London Southend Airport and now LNER is having competition with Ryanair. It’s actually pathetic on why a train operator would want to compete with such a rubbish airline company that have failed so many times. Ryanair shouldn’t even exist.
Why is LNER offering 50% off to Ryanair customers. What about the passengers who use LNER that could also save 50% of their journey from London to Edinburgh and Yorkshire.
