Manchester Airport management are Pathetic.
Why do they continue to treat the public like pre-school children??
I refer to the spurious "eco-drive" announcement regarding the shutting down of a couple of escalators. So instead of a working escalator, we are met with the incredulous statement:- “Turning off this escalator for 12 months saves enough energy to make five million cups of tea.”
Bullsh*t. Why dont they just tell the truth? "Turning of this escalator for 12 months saves enough cash thereby increasing the shareholders coffers"?
It has absolutely nothing to do with any perceived "eco-drive". If they were serious about an economy drive, they could quite easily and permanently close the second runway as it is simply not needed, period.
They continue to keep it open for a couple of hours either end of the day in order to keep up the pretence that it is needed, pah!
