Fingers crossed this is the time

So any idea when we are likely to have confirmation of the new CEO ?

I hope that it's soon.

If it's true that Mr Kehoe gave 6 months notice then we're well over a year now.

Updated plans for the new HS2 Birmingham Interchange Station will be unveiled at the Mipim developer conference in Cannes next month, with “significant changes’” promised.

“We’re going to unveil the new plans for the Parkway Station [HS2 Interchange Station] to something different to unlock the growth agenda,” UGC managing director Huw Rhys Lewis told New Civil Engineer. “This will be the legal funding agreement between us, the Combined Authority, Department for Transport (DfT) and HS2 to change the hybrid act scheme from a Parkway to a different scheme to progress onto a different scheme.

“We’re making significant changes, and those link in to the wider growth agenda, regeneration, business and development opportunities in the central hub area.”

Lewis said the proposals would be expanded on at the New Civil Engineer Airports conference, where the integrated plans for a potential new terminal next to the HS2 station and the APM would also be discussed by Birmingham Airport head of planning transport & strategy Rob Eaton.

“This is making sure that we put the infrastructure in place between now and 2026 when HS2 is to open the interchange station” said Lewis. “We are working to support the growth of the airport within the growth agenda, the possibility of building another terminal next to the HS2 station and the people mover into a redeveloped International Station.”

Please accept my dullness this a.m.; TMA?

Here is a full definition, courtesy Wiki

A terminal control area (TMA, or TCA in the U.S. and Canada),also known as a terminal manoeuvring area (TMA) in Europe, is an aviation term to describe a designated area of controlled airspace surrounding a major airport where there is a high volume of traffic. TMA airspace is normally designed in a circular configuration centered on the geographic coordinates of the airport, and differs from a control area in that it includes several levels of increasingly larger areas, creating an "upside-down wedding cake" shape.

We have now passed 29,900 posts, the countdown to 30k begins.

I wonder who will be the one to take us over the line

 

[thunderchild]

10,000 are about Primera!

 

[rollo]

Can't make my mind up about Primera that's 10,001
Lol

 

[Ray Finkle]

Only 16 posts to go, we may hit 30k tonight

Amazing! Perhaps the site should be like Airbus' where they list their timings to every 1,000 deliveries: in the case of the BHX thread perhaps time to each 5,000 posts?
