Yes I appreciate plans can and do change but the inference back in 2012-2015 with images etc of T1 was of one large super terminal. There was little talk that T1 would be mothballed.
I cannot believe that we are going to be left with what will effectively be an empty shell slap bang between T2 and T3.
All the "naysayers" on here are moaning how poor and basic the new T2 is , well IF it's that poor and basic it shouldn't take much to bring T1 up to its standard should it ?
Whilst there will be an airside corridor built between T2 and T3 i also cannot see how this will encourage transfer activity between the two unless that as a concept has been written off given it will primarily be handed over to RYR.
Sorry I still think this has turned into a mess.
