Where were the aircraft stands for the Shuttle Gateroom ? If I recall correctly there were four "doors" A to D on the airside of it, but there isn't the space for four Tridents to pull up against it, and for Glasgow, Edinburgh and Manchester regular flights, plus backups, four was probably not enough (Belfast Shuttle, again IIRC, left from its own gate with additional security).
