Yes Mr Wooby,
I have used the train there. Indeed, l used to work there. Also in YPPH.
Operate to both now from outside the country. So still in touch with the out of touch.
As l said YBBN is a dog's dinner for the implementation of what the original designers had in mind.
I think Sir Joh Bjelke-Petersen would be turning in his grave on how BNE has turned out. It was his baby. I managed to get there for the opening of the new airport in '87 to see the All American Thunderbirds perform their only Australian display.
The model of the full concept was there, and it was a near full circle terminal that incorporated all flights, both domestic and international, along with parallel runways on either side of the terminal. Sound familiar?
Perth is using a cheap option of a shed with covered walk-ways to meet their clients demands. Those clients are the travelling public.
They must think that they can get away with it.
After all, how many international terminals have two full flights of stairs between the departure hall and the air-bridge?
They have been getting away with it for years!
