It appear so MYK661, and the T3 parking house too seems to have been replaced with a T3 extension (new check-in area?).

MAN has indicated in the Ground Transport Plan (a part of the newly approved Master Plan 2030) that the public transport share for both passengers and employees to be 14-15% in 2010. In the CAA Passenger Survey Report 2009 state the public transport share for passengers flying out of MAN to be 13%. But there is also regional differences with only 6.3% of the passengers coming from Wales are using public transport to 31.6% of the passenger from the South East. This is very low numbers compared with other large airports in Europe and even the largest airports in the UK (the four large around London has an average of 39%). The top airport for public ground transport according to ACI has a 67% share for both passengers and employees (I don't dare to name that airport again, but I can say it has now around 2 million yearly passengers more than MAN). In other words, MAN has to improve their public transportation numbers before they can even think about reducing the parking areas they have today.
