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.
My reaction too, Logohu. Underwhelming from that video. Narrow corridor and low ceilings. What happened to the open spaces and airy feeling that were originally hyped as being a feature?
Afraid to say it does look as if the bean counters have been at work - or is the correct term value engineers these days?
Let's hope the end product does indeed have more of a wow factor while still being efficient..
