Anyone remember the clock getting knocked down for the reason the runway extension which didn’t have impact whatsoever

It would have had an impact so close to the extension !
It had to come down.

Below is an article about the design of the HS2 people mover.

Hopefully someone finds it as interesting as I did

Birmingham Airport expands terminal transformation - ADS Advance

Long walk way with lack of seating, unless you use lounges(cost?), no consideration for elderly etc. Currently at least 'some' welcomed seats to T2. Summer 2026 completion? I'll hold my breath

Noticed the divided glass walkway on the left there after the new duty free - is that a corridor coming from Euro hub check in? I read they have opened two security lanes somewhere in eurohub so I guess this must be from there?

don’t worry, they’ll put a metal rail along the base of the wall, about six inches off the floor. Passengers can sit on that if they’re tired.

If we’re really lucky we might get a row of four seats about halfway down the corridor

Would have been a nice-to-have to leave room for a travelator for outbound pax. - Similar to Edinburgh.

No chance you would miss the opportunity to visit the new retail opportunities to spend your hard earned dosh at inflated prices as you glide by. Personally I tend to use airports as a means to travel not as a shopping expedition but that's just me.

We are flying from Birmingham with TUI soon for the first time since the major building works. We will use the twilight check in the evening before and stay in a hotel overnight.

My partner really doesn't like lifts. Could someone please explain how we can get to security without using the lifts in the morning?

Thanks a lot.

If you are able there is a doorway to the left of the lifts which has stairs up to the first floor. Last time I was there the signage wasn't exactly obvious but we've used them a couple of times.
