EDI - new Aspire lounge now open

Pleasantly surprised, I am now sitting in the new Aspire lounge in Edinburgh.

They have opened up the renovated front part now, and there is a dividing plasterboard at the rear, presumably so they can now work on the 'back half'..

I haven't taken any photos, as it's fairly chockablock.

Layout is booth-style, with some booths having their own 16" TV.
Colour theme is grey.. And many many shades thereof. Grey stripey walls.. Grey chairs.. Grey flooring... Grey lampshades. Not sure I like it...
Current f&b selection is similar to old Servisair lounge, except slightly less snack choice, but with the addition of soup and rolls. Suspect that space is limiting full selection, and more will appear when the back half of the lounge opens.

Ooooo... A purpley pink light has been switched on around the edge of the ceiling in my section! Very VS...!

No departure information screen in the lounge yet..

"They haven't fitted it yet" apparently...

Couple of quick snaps:

Wow, definitely different!

I wonder if the back half will become an "Aspire Plus" pay extra premium lounge within a lounge, as featured at Newcastle.
