Like most roads around Belfast, the Sydenham bypass is easy at 0530, at least it has been most weeks this year on a Monday or Tuesday morning.
I’m not so agreeable that the stairs is a loco thing. As touched on in a post above, this could be fixed by having proper waiting areas where passengers can be penned in, secured and sat down after boarding passes are scanned. Send us on the stairs when the aircraft is ready to board and not a minute before. That’s an airport layout issue.
