Unbelievable.  £9 million of public money to "save" a profitable fight route.

Yeah that's the sort of f**k wits running the place. Basically paying a private firm a bonus to run a profitable route. Where else would you get it ?

A senior civil servant advised against it but I think they are more interested in photo ops than doing what is best

Maybe I am missing something but that article makes no reference to the route being profitable. The fact that was going to be cut suggests it isn't. While there is a £9mn cost, there is no mention of what it brings to the local economy. I wouldn't have a clue on this side of things but without that figure I don't think you can draw any sound conclusions as to whether is good expense or bad.

Not if people are prepared to go to Dublin but it's reasonably busy any time I am on it.

I know the answer to this, but did you know it was €4 before you ordered it?!
