Thumbs up EGCC Single runway operations

I am uncertain as to why Manchester were on single runway operations this morning, but would like to pass my thanks to the morning watch for their handling of the situation.

Whilst I appreciate that the operation is a team thing, the tower controller at about 0900 was obviously working at full stretch and yet there seemed very little delay to traffic - yes, I know that startup was being delayed by about 5 minutes for some traffic.

It goes to show how much has been gained with dual runway operations when you see the difference if one runway is closed.

Out of interest, would it not be advisable to add a note to the ATIS advising of single runway operations.

Well done to whichever watch was on this morning.
