D-ATIS is coming next Spring (finally)....although it's all part of a package (SAMOS) where our assistant colleagues will have to take weather readings when they would otherwise be sorting out your flight plans, calling flow control to get you a better slot, calling stand allocation to ask them to give you a vacant stand, so you might not be so enthusiastic when you get delayed because they need to put out a weather report!

PDC will be integral to our electronic strips (EFPS), so yes it will be in the new tower, if EFPS is ever made to work...........

And the view across to T1 and T2 will be the same as we have now, we'll be much higher, but much further away!
