RWSL wouldn’t do anything at MAN with 23L, no aircraft cross that runway. They cross 23R which in that configuration is for landing only, when the pilots have a clear view of the runway and the RWSL system wouldn’t make a difference.
Actually Manchester is one airport I thought of where the system would be of great use. Landing traffic on 05R has to cross the active departure runway and vice versa for 23 operations. There is also quite a pronounced hump in the runway, so anyone crossing near T3 (23 threshold end) cannot see the 05 threshold. Back before COVID you could also have had 2/3 aircraft crossing the runway at the same time. Tegel would also have benefited from the system but obviously that isn't an issue any more!
