Tigger, any official response from the airport regarding the contentious £1 drop-off fee. Has this been as successful as they had hoped, is traffic movement through the contraflow system efficient, and are vehicles continuing to park and wait on the sides of the roads within and leading up to the airport???
Successful in controlling traffic flow, yes. However people still miss the million signs warning of charges and reverse down the 1 way system or do a U-turn, all to avoid £1, not only is this stupid, but its dangerous and its only a matter of time until someone is hurt. Thankfully theres no longer and cars parked from the roundabout at the long-stay to Checkpoint 1, as they have put barriers up and removed the hard-shoulder, but people still park further up, as they always have done so.
There was a lot of "rage" about the £1, but to be honest, theres still plenty of cars going up that way, i think people finally realised, its only £1.. but theres still the odd 1 or 2 out there.. as for revenue it produces, id love to see that figure, it honestly wouldnt surprise me if they get £3000 a day out of it, considering EZY alone carries roughly 8500-12000 per day (thats including arrivals and depatures by the way) depending on the day of the week
