Was pier 3 cut short again only in preparation for T2B, or was it prior to that?
It was truncated to allow access to stands on the north side of the Europier and 120 / 122 reopened on Pier 2. This was done around the time 231-233 came into use on T2B. I flew FRA-LHR in 2010 just after it had been cut at stand 121 and was bussed from what is now 121L.
