My main concern is what appears to be a very circuitous route from check-in to gate.

No change there then !!

The project has gone through several rounds of value engineering such that it is almost unrecognisable from that first proposed in June 2015.
Suspected that might be the case ! I guess the Dutch project leader will be costing 15% more since June 2016 for a start. After reading the gushing M.E.N. article first, for a moment there I thought they had posted the wrong video into the page by mistake !!

I know budgets have their limits and have to be respected, but on the other hand I thought MAG wants this facility to be the premier gateway outside the SE and a showcase for the Northern Powerhouse. Hopefully the video doesn't do justice to the full extent of the long term plans and vision.
