Yes, Manchester delay statistics are not the best to start with
FLIGHTONTIME.info - Manchester Airport Flight Delays & Punctuality
I agree with LAX LHR on the event reporting. Stations, theatres and other venues are being evacuated every other day- there are more important things in this world than this to report on in a short bulletin.
Maybe if this thread stuck to genuine news items about MAN instead of tunnels,HMRC, accountancy, Syria, then we wouldn't be having this conversation.
I fully understand the wider financial implications, but I still don't think this is the correct forum for this. It is the same points of view being repeated over and over again. Can we not give it a rest before this thread gets locked again? It is the ONLY airport thread on Pprune that is bogged down in this stuff.
