there was also no trolleys at the hotel in the morning (( must have6 been collected overnight had touse my luggage wheels until geting the £1 trolley at the tram stop)

Regards

Here now, as the Bright Bus pulled into EDI not only didnt we see a single trolley but we saw a worker with close to a dz pushing them inside near the beginning of the building to refill the rack. Got off the bus looked ahead not a single trolley, yet plenty of people walking inside for flights, so we did the same and bingo in a corner just as we walked in were 2 trolleys, grabbed them and then walked back the way the bus drove in. The only sort of problem was when we wanted to cross over from The Hampton to the DT, really no easy way to do it, so we just walked in the road way and got it done.

When we entered the DTs property there was a trolley pushed onto the grass and 1 more by the doorway. Well we simply pushed ours inside up to the reception, when he handed us the keys he said he will help with the bags to the room, I quickly said as we limped along thats OK I will bring the trolleys back down(then under my breath, tomorrow morning) not 1 word was said about not being able to take them to the room and inside the room they now sit

He said we were Upgraded hard to believe it unless a beautiful view of the back parking lot is a view not to miss, our room is all the way at the very end of all the hallways in the back, but with the trolleys it doesnt matter. Its an airport hotel and clean and 20K less then if we stayed at The Carlton

THX for all your help it helped make things go very smoothly! If its not raining out when we head to the Term tomorrow we will walk back its a very quick walk
