With the terminal extension meant to open this month but with half of it still not even being started yet it is time for a little speculation why that might be.

The rear balcony of the original terminal frontage is the location of new plant that was installed last year. A large crane had to be used that was parked in the former bus station. Until the plant was installed the bus station infill could not take place.

The first photo below was taken in June last year and the second photo was taken yesterday. As can been seen in the second photo a section of ducting has been removed. In fact it has been missing for months. I was just wondering if there has been issues with the new plant and the terminal infill can't start again until it has been resolved due to a crane needing future access.

With 18 months now passed since the contractor took control of the site it is seeming more and more likely that the terminal expansion is turning into a 3 year protect as much of the existing terminal remodeling can't start until the terminal extension is fully open.
