Well as a regular user, the case for more airbridges is accademic!, really totally hacked off no. of times have to get on that bl**dy stupid bus which takes you on a 3 minute ride when arriving at a stand adjacent to the peir. Oh! and to any critic, yes it would probably take one same time to walk down the peir if indeed there was an airbridge on site, BUT you will have not taken in the time for the *Tour Bus* to arrive, stand around waiting for Mrs Cannybody and her tribe of kids to board, prior to departure. No business preference afforded here on arrival.
Further point, not much use the Loco's prefering two door exits when all it does is feed punters into same bus, or if two buses, as they simply both depart at same time anyway.
I note that even MME's expansion plans, if they ever sort out access issues cater for four airbridges.
