Whatever happened to the strange new NX minibus service (between
airport and City Centre) with the dots on the side (same branding as
the then-new NXEC)? Dotty by name and dotty by nature, perhaps.


It was a failure. Probably going after a market that doesn't exist,
TBH - you're either time-sensitive in which case you will use HEx and
a taxi (or just a taxi), or you're price-sensitive in which case
you'll use the Picc.

That said, the concept seems to do well in the US.


The 'dot to dot' homepage is still there, with links to another company
(Skyshuttle) offering the same service, but only Heathrow AFAICT...
