The problem answered - to a degree
Problem caused by B757 with hydraulic problem landing 06R with resultant hot brakes and smoke.
AFS in attendance and passengers remained on board. Fire cover compromised during the emergency but now restored with single runway operations on 06L after approx 15 minutes.
Aircraft towed to stand for passenger disembarkation.
As usual an everyday situation dealt with by the professionals on both side - airline and AFS/airport/ATC.
(Airline's name withheld for confidentiality from press)

My dad was on a plane trying to land whilst all this was going on, one of the pilots came onto the overhead speaker saying they weren't allowed to land.
At Manchester they were down to one runway and the aircraft my dad was on was in a circit over liverpool for 30 minutes.
It was a Jet2 plane

MAN T1 to T2
I would leave an absolute minimum of 15 mins from leaving the EI plane to check-in desks in T2.
Leaving baggage reclaim in T1, walk past front of the Information desk and turn left passing the Post Office. Go out of terminal and take any of the three lifts on right hand side to Level 7 (Check this once inside the lift).
Follow signs for T2 which will take you along the Skywalk passing the rail station and the SAS Radisson hotel. If you are lucky, the travelators will be working but don't bank on it. You may enter T2 at arrivals level in which case you will need to go up one floor to the main check-in hall. There are a few check-in desks on the arrivals level but these seem to be mainly charter.
Hope this helps.

Transfer time T1 to T2
With due respect to TSR2, I think that his times might be slightly on the optimistic.
On the basis that EI normally use a stand towards the end of Pier B, then allowing for a small delay at passport/immigration - yes, I know you are coming in from Dublin and therefore passports are not required but it is still technically an international arrival - you may well have used up 10 minutes before you come out into the arrivals area at T1.
Rather than going towards the information desk can I suggest that you exit via the doors to the right of WH Smith (their shop is on the left as you come out of the customs area) and then walk to the right and use the escalator that leads direct up to the Skywalk. As TSR2 says, follow the signes for The Station and then (staying on the same level) follw signs for Terminal 2 and the Radission hotel.
The Skywalk actually enters Terminal 2 at the checkin Hall level. If you are travelling with CO (??) then their checkin is usually towards the far end of the hall.
All in all I would suggest 20-25 minutes for the transfer - assuming that you are a normal fit and healthy person. Enjoy your 'flying' visit to Manchester.

Flyjet delay to Sharm
According to Manchester Airport website, this flight will operate approx. 25 hours late. Departure time should be about 10am tomorrow morning.
No idea what the reason is.

Apologies if this has already been posted, but I see Emirates are upgrading their evening flight to a 77W, lots of capacity between MAN and the Gulf coming for the winter!

T1 Arrivals that are either GB domestic, or from N or S Ireland, will be bussed to the new arrivals point at T1, thus avoiding Immigration, but still passing the Police check point (unless GB domestic).
It's a very neat solution there with glass corridors and clever doors, and a smart new reclaim hall.
Allow a bit longer for the bussing though.
This new area is probably the best bit of T1 now.
Just wait till they move T1 security upstairs for departures. Watch the queues at the lifts when the escalators break down. My how we'll laugh. When will MA ever fully understand and embrace the concept of customer service?
