Looks like pier B will be opening soon for at least coaches. Lots of window washing taking place today and the contractors village landside fence has been moved so the coaches will have an exit route between the village and the pier. There is still a fence between the aircraft stands and the pier though as of today.

Inside the ground floor terminal infill the 2 coffee shops will be opening next and soon but are still boarded up. Work on the The Burger King site seems to have only recently been started while M&S is still an empty shell.

No progress on the ceiling which still only has a few slats fitted.

The infill already has its first broken floor tile.

As for the new drop off zone, I can't yet get my head around the exit route yet as kerbing has been installed at the ends of each lane. Also how passengers will be crossing the ring road. The ring road used to come to a standstill when passengers had to use a temporary pedestrian crossing from the short term car park before the foot bridge was installed. Passenger volumes from the drop off zone will be 10 times that of the short term car park.
