New Pier 1 LGW

So fewer gates than the old pier, but all will be of a larger size suitable for 'International & Domestic', all with air-bridges.
Can't help reflecting that Flybes exit is well timed, as they seemed to mainly use the old pier 1, which had a number of small gates without air bridges.
I have used the old pier 1 and I think i am right in saying that the largest aircraft using it was A320/B737-800? not sure if the size constraints were just the Gate lounges or the actual ramp area?
i assume the 5 new gates can take wide-bodies?
