Flew from MAN to HAM on EZY departure off 23R as I see the 23R end of Runway 1 has had new tarmac and before this was done the 05L end was laid. Turned right after take off then right back over the airport, nice view of airport and see the runway is progressing well looks much better with new tarmac. When is completion due? I see all aircraft are coming off at high speed taxiway AE as BD & B are closed. When are these due to re-open? Taxiway A seems bumpy in places e.g. passing the AVP is this not included in the refurb of 23R/05L?
On another note - is T3 ever going to get e passport gates? When returning from MAN another EZY flight landed as well as a WW flight. Luckily I was near front of queue but I noticed how far it went down the corridor. Arrivals hall needs expanding too, it must be hectic in the morning with the AA passengers!

Only 2 went to MCO the other went to LGW to get fixed!
Maybe yesterday, but it was 2x A330 and 1x 747 to MCO today.

According to Notams the surfacing should be finished by mid-August but nightwork will continue until mid-September presumably to instal the runway lighting after the surfacing. BD is showing to remain closed until Sept.
Taxiway Alpha past the AVP has been "bumpy" for a long time. I don't think it's included in the runway works but I'm sure it won't be too long before it's sorted.

T1 muli storey
Booked T1 muli-storey but the directions, are confusing me (not difficult) directions as follows; From all directions leave M56 Motorway at Junction 5. Take middle lane signposted for Terminal 1. At the end of the slip road take first exit off the roundabout down Outbound lane. At the Outbound Lane roundabout take the second exit signposted for Short Stay parking. It mentions two roundabouts I thought there was only one roundabout, the one under the T1 flyover, I thought it was staight off the M56 straight down to the traffic lights across the lights to said roundabout, my other question is the multi-storey itself is it now accessed from ground level and not the flyover, as photos show a car accessing the multi-storey via the flyover. TIA

You are correct. From M56 exit follow T1 signs to traffic lights. Straight through and take the ramp but get in right hand lane At the barrier (immediately before entering multi-storey) do not press button for ticket but insert the credit card used for payment and the barrier will raise. Park anywhere in the multi-storey car park.
On return, use same credit card to exit. Have a good holiday.

Leaving MAN by road this morning I caught a glimpse of a new road sign warning of road works starting soon on Ringway Road West. I could have sworn it said "until 2016" but as I was - ahem - travelling, I couldn't be sure.
Would some kind soul pop along and see what it's all about. Not in 'til next week....

Metrolink Ringway Road West roadworks

Ringway Road West and Outwood Lane: A temporary, mandatory 30mph speed limit will be in force along Ringway Road West and Outwood Lane from late July 2011 for approximately 18 months. This is for safety reasons due to the on-going traffic management at Outwood Lane and the proposed Metrolink roadworks on Ringway Road West. This will be a legal speed limit enforced by Greater Manchester Police.

Update of works programme due in September.
The line is due to open in 2016 and will provide a tram every 12 minutes between Manchester Airport and Manchester City Centre.
So leave plenty of time for your journey for the next few years......
Looks like diversion routes through the estate will be similarly affected.
No mention yet on the Airport website - perhaps a job for first thing on Monday

LED Lighting Trial
With the above trial having finished what was the result?
If it was a success will LED be used for the replacement on 23R? If it was not a success then what was the problem?
Finally I see the new lighting towers being erected on the 23R approach but the supports do not look nearly as frangible as the old ones. Were the old supports not of a better quality in case of an accident and are the new ones less solid than appears at first glance.
Thanks, as always.
