Eyes,

What better connectivity do you envisage for MAN exactly?

It already has a 4 platform heavy rail station with trains to the majority of the big northern (and some Scottish) towns and cities.

It has 2 metrolink platforms which that said service can stretch to the main corners of Manchester (albeit to Cornbrrok and then change until the open the central Manchester lines up again).

It has a motorway link to pretty much the doors of T2.

It has regular bus services to central and southern parts of Manchester.

It has regular coaches to points as far south as London?

So, apart from getting bums on seats, which is a public issue, not MAG (no matter how much you promote something, if people don't want to use it you can't force them), so, with this 'connectivity issue', what is it you see that MAN is so obviously getting it drastically wrong, as the way I see it, infrastructure wise, it's probably one of the best prepared airports in the country.

And I'm sorry but before anyone says it, it's ridiculous to suggest that the lack of a bus link between the station and terminals is causing tha lack of public transport uptake!
