First flight from LHR to MAN this year because I had a meeting at The Raddison. I’ve been using the trains for other trips. It’s not really improved has it?

20 minutes from the end of the runway to the gate because four other aircraft were pushing back from the AA Gates and we had to wait. Then 20 minutes for the air bridge and a 15 minute bus ride round the apron and a five minute wait whilst another bus disgorged its passengers.

Still bizarrr; but not as bizarre as the Fast Track experience on the return trip where they just merge you into the normal queue. Only in Manchester!
