You meant stuck in 2L? As the 2E-L lounge is half closed due to improvement works in progress, you will be allowed to access the 2E-M terminal and lounge. However, the shuttle that could bring you back to 2E-L concourse only operates during certain times. What are you flight times?
I thought since I am landing in 2E-K I might be forced to use 2E-K lounge instead.
As I have been to 2E-K lounge multiple times (most likely to use it again for LHR flight), I would like to visit 2E-M since some travellers told me its better as well not been there before.

True. I would probably either keep it untranslated (i.e. use "noodle bar" even in the French version) or say something like "un comptoir de restauration rapide asiatique". Admittedly, that would be less specific but it would also be less weird.

Have had quick search and not find it as this question might have been asked.
I got a flight CDG-PTY, based on history it leaves from 2L. As I will be travelling from LHR, usually parked in 2K.
Can I go to lounge in 2M by getting the train to 2L and catch their coachs mention in Goldorak http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/28213712-post414.html
Or am I stuck in 2K as need a shower.
Thanks

As Olivedel, in case you leave from L and want to use another lounge, I think the shuttles should be available at that busy time.

Copenhagen Kastrup (CPH) - Atelier Relaxium Lounge
Here you are 
Name of the lounge : CPH - Atelier Relaxium Lounge
This is a brand new lounge, open for a week, used now by AF/KL in replacement of the Aviator lounge. The Atelier lounge is handled by the same operator as the former one. The AF station manager told me that the Aviator lounge will undergo soon a complete renovation and, after the renovation, AF/KL pax will have the choice to go to one or the other indifferently.
As you can see on the picture, the lounge is on 2 floors and they have a « concept » for each floor. The upper floor (whith the welcome desk) with warm colours from yellow to dark red/pink is for « those who want some fun while waiting for their flight», and the lower floor with cold colours (blue/green) « offers peace, quiet and tranquility for those who want to work or chill »…I have to say I’m not convinced by this split. Personnally, I like the upper floor with the warm colours, but I disliked the lower floor with its cold feeling (I felt being in an hospital) and type of seats available (less comfortable than upstairs).
Lower floor :
Upper floor :
Location : airside, at the end of shopping pier A, just before the beginning of the concourse with A gates
Opening Hours : Su to Fr : 5 am to 8 :30 pm ; Sa : 5 am to 8 pm
Entry requirements : usual AF/KL requirements. Possibility of a paid access for DKK 189 (about 25 EUR)
Food offer : finger food of quite good quality, including a few warm options
Drinks offer : wine, liquors, soft drinks, fruit juice, coffee
Services
Wifi: yes (airport network, works well)
Showers: no
Toilets: yes
Quiet zone: no

Name of the lounge : CPH - Atelier Relaxium Lounge
This is a brand new lounge, open for a week, used now by AF/KL in replacement of the Aviator lounge. The Atelier lounge is handled by the same operator as the former one. The AF station manager told me that the Aviator lounge will undergo soon a complete renovation and, after the renovation, AF/KL pax will have the choice to go to one or the other indifferently.
As you can see on the picture, the lounge is on 2 floors and they have a « concept » for each floor. The upper floor (whith the welcome desk) with warm colours from yellow to dark red/pink is for « those who want some fun while waiting for their flight», and the lower floor with cold colours (blue/green) « offers peace, quiet and tranquility for those who want to work or chill »…I have to say I’m not convinced by this split. Personnally, I like the upper floor with the warm colours, but I disliked the lower floor with its cold feeling (I felt being in an hospital) and type of seats available (less comfortable than upstairs).

Summary: I was always fine with the Escape lounge, but overall,the 1903 lounge is an improvement on the T3 Escape lounge, which could get very busy. I hope they keep it after the two-month trial. Not sure what you do if you have children with you. I guess that most passengers in MAN won't be connecting so they won't stay long in the lounge. But any lounge at all is better that the zoo that Manchester T3 can be.

Great news, this is a significant step up in my opinion. I have just switched next week's flight from Flybe to Air France to check this out.

Looking forward to using this facility on Sunday. If anyone travelling on AF1069 on 17/12 doesn't have lounge access I can guest one.

A quick greeting from the new DSS lounge, or two in fact, one in each end. Infinity is the name/brand of the contract lounge.
Very basic offering, not nearly enough seating for the 7 flights leaving tonight and no alcohol available. Fresh OJ, though
Hoping dearly that this gets better over time, okay being a week after opening.

Sneaky peak at Manchester 1903 lounge.
The food is excellent. Small portions of pasta bolognese and a cheesy broccoli thing were available today. I really hope AF retain use of this facility as it's just perfect.

Ah for the life of me I could not find this last week or so when I was in CPH and explored the now under construction CPH Apartment/Aviator instead after getting my usual over at the SAS Lounge. Guess I'll find it Friday morning. Looks interesting from the photos in your other post. Can you give a better description of the entrance location? I get horribly confused down by the A/B gates in CPH for some reason (I live by the C/D gates)
