User - I agree with you that there was (and remains) tremendous opportunity to redevelop the T1/T3 site for the reasons that you state. My hope would be that this will follow on from the T2 TP in turn, preferably sooner rather than later. You make a persuasive case that T1/T3 should have been fast-tracked first, but for me the most important thing is that both elements get sorted as soon as is practicably possible. An infusion of government funding to help make this happen more quickly would be highly desirable. The stretched timescales we see at present are an inevitable consequence of having to finance the whole redevelopment of MAN with privately funded inhouse resources. There are too many elements of desirable redevelopment which would be of clear benefit to the wider NW economy, but which would disadvantage MAG's own bottom-line taken in isolation. So those upgrades face never being advanced under the present system.
