I understand they cannot really add additional facilities such as seating areas due to planning. Will there be conveyers to ease the long walk? Are there air bridges?
There's always one joker. No conveyors from what I'm told even though it's ever such a long walk. It is fully insulated and heated with a partition full length. I was surprised when I was told that a limited amount of seating has been installed, but there you go.

It's not connected to the CTB, but we apparently will have access to the walkway through the external doors.
There's always a possibility that airbridges will follow in time, but for now it appears that ducting has been installed for ground power at the head of the stands.

Oh, and I may be wrong, but I thought the Masterplan had something in it about knocking the old terminal down and extending the main taxiway eastwards to create a starter extension which would give a longer take off run which would accomodate larger aircraft on longer sectors.
