Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Sir: The main Scottish airports have or could soon have rail links, contrary to Simon Calder's suggestion (Time Off, 24 January).

Dyce, just north of Aberdeen, was reopened for the airport, though restoration of the "subbies", Aberdeen's lost local trains, would improve matters.

Glasgow's airport link was hampered by the notorious politics of Paisley, but is now being prepared by Strathclyde Passenger Transport and would link in with the city's Crossrail plan.

An airport station on the Edinburgh-Fife line has been long suggested and may come when the city's traffic restraint policies are matched by rail development.
