A while ago I said that once the apron work was complete, ATC should be able to manage access conflicts, and despite others' sarcasm, I'm sure they will.
There is a however a flaw in the layout which has delayed the arrival of my baggage to the carousel, and hence me, on a couple of occasions recently. The vehicle roadway runs between the stands and the taxiway. Baggage trucks understandably have to wait for any aircraft being pushed back. Normally that would only take a moment, however they are also waiting for any aircraft starting on stand. In my experience J31s and J41s take an age to get going (they also need a GPU so always start on stand before pushback). So you can have a very lengthy wait while the baggage truck waits for the thing to move. Two starting in a row compounds the problem. The same delays apply to the coach heading for the remote stands.
Then you take the knock on delays at "peak" time and the crowds in the baggage hall become extremely agitated......
