I avoid T3 where possible & I find T2 security the worst. I agree the TP is 10 years too late with too little too late. T1 pier B arrivals are dire.
However, it's not so bad I would avoid the airport altogether, I have used worse. If you are fortunate to use it off peak then it's not a bad experience. However, I would agree that there is simply no more room for anymore peak period services.
From what little I know, it would seem that Pier 1 of the TP programme might be ready for early 2019 and the T2 extension in use by January 2020. It may at first glance appear to be a long way off but it will hopefully be worth the wait. The other piers and facilities would then follow on.
