T3 certainly needs a rescue package ASAP. 0730 this morning unable to access Escape lounge as full to capacity. Terminal chocka - no seats & queues for the over priced coffees horrendous at all outlets. A very unpleasant way to start a trip. Waited until arrival at SOU for a refreshing brew & bacon sandwich in a civilised environment. Next time, I shall use the train. End of.
Although not the best Terminal I admit coupled with it not being designed for the RYR loads we see today, however, it's not that bad - I've been to worse places. How long is the train journey to SOU - about 4 1/2 hrs !! - I think I'd rather put up with a little inconvenience at MAN and take the quicker plane (assuming the a/c isn't 'Tech')
