Thought I would quickly check out this thread again to see if anyone had commented on the new approach road. I wasn’t disappointed. I made the big mistake of using it this morning at 6am. The queue extended from the “improved drop off area that can’t be accessed all the way to the bottom of the hill.
I know for next time to use the old approach road that was empty so as least I get to the Ibis roundabout without having to queue.
