It was indeed put in primary for departures, as not many aircraft miss the exit. Shame it didn’t go to the end but at the end of the day it is not the runway capacity that will restrain the growth of the airport but a lack of land to build infrastructure.
I will have to have a closer look but I am sure the contractors village has been removed from the side of the taxiway now it is open. I was expecting it to be relocated for the construction of Taxiway Foxtrot and the extension to Taxiway Alpha but I haven’t seen it although I haven’t looked to hard to find it.
