Sorry if I have been asleep on the job.
What is happening to RailAir links in the great new Great British Railways wonderland. I don't know what the current contractual relationship between the ROC and the RailAir provider.
From a passenger point of view will things carry on seamlessly? (Innocent fool?).

Back in the mid 80s I was weekending from Scotland to my then home in Hampshire. The Royal Navy provided transport to/from Edinburgh Airport, I received "mileage" for the flight to Heathrow and a rail warrant from Woking to Eastleigh.
The clever bit was the Rail-Air coach from Heathrow to Woking. BR would not accept a rail warrant, as it was a coach - the coach operator would not accept a coach warrant as the bus carried the BR Logo and therefore was a train !! In the end the Navy paid us mileage instead for that bit. I have often wondered if they ever resolved that bit of stupidity - perhaps GBR will.
