Redevelopment of T1 ? - Dead easy!

Step 1.
Build a new terminal between the rail station and the present T1 Multi-storey carpark, to link with the present T2. (Complete with spectators terrace!!??)

Step2
When this is completed, open it to a grand fanfare, whilst knocking down the old terminal 1, thus creating lots of open area for Apron in front of the new Termial.

Step3
Knock down Olympic house - situated in a ridiculous place, not only blocking development of T3 but causes no end of turbulnece affecting aircraft over the threshold of 23R when the wind is from the NW at 20+ knots!!!

Step4
Build a new "Olympic House" in Leek, roughly half -way between the principle assets of MAG.

Step5
Have a Frankfurt style automatic people mover connecting T2 -T1 -T3, it's not rocket science.

Then and only then will Manchester Airport have developed to how it should have been - it'll only be about 15 - 20 years too late?

Also I reckon it's about time the local councils chipped in with some investment instead of always on the take
