Vehicle access at MAN.

First of all if this is in the wrong thread, then please do move it.

Manchester Airport has completely lost the plot with vehicular access to the airport.

Staff who park in staff west and ride the bus in are now taken only as far as the train station and then have to walk the rest of the way in. This is fine except that public vehicles are still being allowed to proceed past Olympic house, where the bus usually drops off for the T1/T3 area, and into the short stay which is attached to T1! This is adding at least another 20 minutes to our day and is rather annoying and makes no sense when passengers are allowed much nearer the terminal in their private vehicles.

Passengers using T2 are not allowed to drop off/pick up outside T2, but can still park in the attached short stay.


Passengers using T3 are now to be dropped off on the roundabout next to the perimeter fencing which has a very large a/c parked directly opposite it everyday.

Security in T3 this morning were made to allow access to T1 passengers as there was a backlog due to a full evacuation of T1 (kitchen fire, nothing sinister).

Manchester is becoming a complete nightmare to work at. When will the daft bus policy change? Why not have pax park in what is now staff west and bus them in? Why not left staff, who should obviously be safer, park in the short stay?
