That was just the icing on the cake for us. After a two hour trip from Leeds due to congestion in Leeds city centre, M62, M60 and M56 (which I accept is not MAN's fault) to be queuing for 45 minutes to do the last mile into the car park is pathetic. I had considered the train but the woman sitting next to me on our flight had taken the train from Leeds, which got as far as Piccadilly and then terminated due to some problem on the line to the airport. She had then the joy of a tram ride, which took an hour.
This isn't the first time I've had issues getting to MAN and we made our flight because you have to factor this sort of delay into your travel time but it does impact on your decision making when looking for flights and the chances of me using T3 in the near future are about zero.
