The reduction in LGW-MAN services to just 3 a day makes a day return useless. They have removed the first flight of the day from MAN to LGW and the last service in the day from LGW to MAN, effectively removing the overnight stop. The schedule is clearly designed as a feeder to long-haul services arriving/leaving in the mornings at LGW. A great shame for a route that helps avoid a London transit en route to the south coast (either via LHR or Euston).
