I aappreciate everyone outside the Mancunian Republic believes us chippy Mancs would not have a word said about our beloved Manchester Airport. Here's news AND BALANCE. ...

Well if the see-saw very occasionally and somewhat spasmodically alighted on our region even once every say 10 years I for one would be delighted. At the moment it appears to have one of those Tom And Jerry type 100 tonne graphics wieghing it down in a South Easterly direction ! Infact its...

Just on catch up so sorry for the delay. A fast moving story with the presentations to the transport committee who at least seem to be a bit more enlighted . In addition Willie Walsh has made it clear that BA have absolutely no interest in operating, by way of example Liverpool to Heathrow so...

Yes I tend to agree with EGCC we have to he careful re phraseology. Whilst I'm evangelical about Manchester that is most definitely not at the expense of Heathrow BUT when I see comments about "diverting cash" it does cause some minor irritation as it suggests an allocation of cash that has...

Yet another massive development was given the green light this week . https://www.insidermedia.com/insider/northwest/green-light-for-32-storey-residential-scheme There is massive optimism that Manchester is the "go to" place outside London but even I'm starting to worry ! :) It's like a god...

Heathrow have said they would contribute £1bn for "surrounding " infastructure but I would have thought tunneling bridgework widening etc? will come in at a lot more than that. Moving the incinerator site one iof the largest in Europe was also mentioned with HAL picking up the tab. When...

http://www.parliamentlive.tv/Event/Index/3a3a9566-614e-4ce3-9b27-3a10e33f5907 I have double checked the prune posting and yes at 1755 it's pretty unequivocal. Expectation that Heathrow will pick up the costs of moving all local infastructure. Interestingly he did make sure his colleague said...

Interesting development re Heathrow thus evening with Grayling and sidekick appearing before the Transport Committee. According to prune the DFT will not pay for ANY supporting infastructure cages reqd. Heathrow will pay ...

Blaming the decline of domestic feed on slots is something of a misnomer. Of course there would be more availability to operete domestic feed but woukd it make a real difference. BA already operate Glasgow Newcastle etc every hour or so. At best you would simply dilute that traffic if say...

I quite agree but when the government force feed the South East with billions whilst ignoring probjects in the rest of the country one can't help feeling we don't have a level playing field.

BUT crucially Manchester isn't asking for £12bn to provide all its supporting infastructure ? Well apart from the paltry A6 relief road which by someway is breaking all records. 4 miles in 7 years breathtaking !

True about 204 I believe ! And has expanded domestic feed to 18 whilst Heathrow has slashed it's own routes to just 6.

True about 204 I believe !

[QUOTE="Jerry, post: What do people think MAN will lose if Heathrow gets its 3rd runway? Heathrow is earmarked for £12bn min and possibly £18bn in roadrail infastructure. ....what about some equality of funding for infastructure projects in Newcastle Birmingham Liverpool The South West...

http://www.parliamentlive.tv/Event/Index/be473f75-77f0-4b6d-91e6-6970c89d2655 Appearance of Holland-Kaye before Transport Committee yesterday. "Growth will be phased in over many years" hang on they told shareholders 3 otherwise ROI will be delayed. "Cost of a bridge or tunnel will be about...

Just to clarify "Commercial Snow" is very different to "Ordinary Snow" !

https://news.sky.com/story/flights-cancelled-as-snow-expected-to-hit-most-of-uk-in-coming-days-11238080 A very prudent move by tge national carrier given the "BLIZZARD" conditions prevalent across the UK Monday ! We're any passengers from Manchester affected or was it just those flights...

Not widely reported but the Scottish Parliament left APD unchanged in their budget annoucement last week. It was widely expected that they might have reduced it by 50% but the topic was..... .....quietly kicked into the long grass !

Could we speculate as to why Air China don't just start the service ? Is it protecting LHR ? Given they alrwady have rights and the fact it would be a money spinner given they must be aware of Hainan figures, it seems odd they don't take up the service ?
