vikingTON Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 26 minutes ago, FlyerTon said: With this proposed cut in air passenger taxes in Scotland, it's a pity they didn't go ahead with the Glasgow Airport Rail Link. It would have been in operation in 2013 but was cancelled in 2009, despite the Scottish Parliament voting for it to go ahead. About £30m of public money has been spent on it. Now it appears they are going ahead with some kind of a link after all, but a slower tram system in Paisley, and it could be 2025 before that's in operation. Only decent rail link we have is Prestwick and hardly any flights go out of there now. Public bail out loans to Prestwick Airport could be £40m by next year. Nobody cares about you and your beloved, failed Labour party's shan monorail project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These people are the same ones who were saying a few weeks ago "no deal is better than a bad deal". No deal means stuff like visas and in that eventuality having to apply and pay for a Schengen zone visa will be the least of most folk's worries. One definite is that if we're going to demand work visas from EU citizens they're going to do the same to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donathan Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Pretty good policy. It's refreshing to know that our SNP government aren't far left "tax all deh rich" type loonies and are committed to building a society that is both pro-business AND socially democratic. The two are certainly not mutually exclusive.Besides, any policy that turn the Green Party into tear stained seething messes is surely a good policy.

John Lambies Doos Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Eh? When has there ever been a visa required to visit European countries? The EU are working towards an esta type visa. It's actually fairly common news. UK won't be involved now, so yes it will be coming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz FFC Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Got the Glasgow airport bus 2 weeks ago and the timing was pretty good. Very quick to Queen Street and didn't have to wait on a bus arriving at the airport. Wasn't impressed with the £15 for the 2 of us though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get a train ticket to 'Glasgow Airport' (getting off at Paisley Gilmour Street) and the local bus route to the airport is free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
