I found my short hop to LHR a bit depressing. Firstly as the bus that previously ran for 40 years no longer runs, I had to use a taxi to T3, took about 10 minutes in a queue to get to a drop off point due congestion. Meandered around a cluttered overcrowded T3. Shuttle delayed with a weather slot, then when slot time arrived, delayed further due to taxiway congestion, whilst waiting for single runway ops departure. Then your heart sighs when the aircraft is turned off the taxiway because the powers that be have built a car park slap bang in the middle of an operational area.
Get a grip Manchester! The TP is 10 years away from completion, how are you going to manage between now and then? And it's with disbelief that after 10 years of TP disruption there will be no more extra stands.
The last thing manchester needs now are any more new services, they took their eye of the ball 10 years ago.
