1 - Taxiway Alpha North of Rwy 27 and Taxiway Charlie have often been closed overnight between 10pm and 5.30-6.00am for works.
What is ACTUALLY going on up there? Yes I have the notams, and read the method of works but whatever it is seems to be taking an awfully long time...

In terms of giving a different wind to what's on the ATIS after an aircraft is already lined up, yes it is not ideal,
I think this was bought up about the Melbourne some pages back. The wind quoted is often different to atis winds. The crosswind quoted though is often horrendously different. Rwy 34, 330/30kts x/wind 18?? Its very different to the calculators we are using.
