Straying away from trains to freight ?
Interesting comparison here with the next warehouse re Airport City.
This is the planning application which went in Dec.
New 260,000 sq ft Manchester warehouse green-lighted | SHD Logistics News
Interestingly this is 260,000 sq ft BUT only 11 acres.
It seems odd by comparison to anybody who has seen the monster at the side of the Mway at Omega North which really is enormous.

Curiously this is 157,000 sq ft but only 18 acres !
The Man Airport option by sq ft would initially appear to be considerably larger BUT the footprint by acre much smalller which seems odd.
If its a transport hub do you not need the lorry parking etc as well ?
