Drops you off right outside the terminal door to boot Details below. http://www.airdirect747.com/   Thats a great idea Train due there at 1200 (bus due at 1210)or edin at 1225 (bus every 10 mins allegedly) You'll be checked in and supping a cold beer by 1225 Where are you off to anyway if you don't mind me asking. (Nosy Ham surfacing here )

No where exiting...Cheltenham for a beer or 10 on 31st!

Reason for flying from edinburgh is its half the price and times suits for arrival at my Sisters,and i can get the train to edin and back for £5 with my work (First)

Here's another plan for you to mull over.

Thanks guys

I may just have to pay extra for an earlier train (us First boyz dont get to travel cheap until after 0915)

Pete - If you coming down from Aberdeen by Train I would suggest to you not to go into Waverly but if your train stops at the Gyle Station, get off there and you can get a taxi to the airport approx 10 mins away. Edinburgh is a nightmare for traffic depending what time of day/day of week you are going to arrive. We came out to the gyle this morning from waverly part of town and it took 50 mins in a taxi. I think an hour might be tight especially if the tram works restart! Says here the bus takes 25 mins! Hrmmm

Give me a shout if you need any more info!

I'm fairly sure that there is an airport bus that leaves from Waverley Bridge.

Get off the train at Waverley and walk towards the vehicle ramps this is the ramp where the taxis access the station concourse (just follow the black hacks up and out of the station), at the top of the ramp you are on Waverely Bridge, cross over the road and you will be at all the bus stops.

You will get an airport bus from there.

1 hour will be plenty.

Of course thanks to the sodding SNP you can't travel by train to Edinburger airport as they cancelled the sodding Edinburgh Airport Rail Link (E.A.R.L) and they cancelled the Glasgow Airport Rail Link (G.A.R.L) so we as in Network Rail are now delevering something else which has amongst us Engineers is being known as the Paisley Improvement Service Scheme (P.I.S.S) a.k.a Ayrshire Renfrewshire Service Enhancements (A.R.S.E)
