every terminal has cars queuing you can't get in or out especially T4 thats 3 times in a week we've had an absolute nightmare picking up and I have got another car going to T3 in the morning

yesterday had to wait 40 minutes for a bus back to long stay at T4 (High sided vehicle) and the whole terminal completely choked ended up paying £14 for parking instead of getting out for free :sad:

There seems to be a complete breakdown of any traffic management ](*,)

Sunday afternoons is the worst for Heathrow.

And last week the world and their wife either returned from the Xmas, or left after the Xmas, holidays.

In fact I picked a mate up who has been away for 5 weeks doing a tour of Asia, and then took him up to Silverstone to pick up a new Lotus EVORA GT430 SPORT.

Needless to say he doesn't drive a cab.

No problem at Manchester just a few road works, T2 has altered its drop off, that’s about it unless you don’t no your way around, then you will probably end up on the M56 :D

I was there last Wednesday and your correct it was closed off, they don’t like you using it, it’s for backhanders only, but I parked up ok, the worst is the queues for the lift,I just use the stairs.

I know manchester airport like the back of my hand, I've been going there for over 30 years. ½ an hour to get into the arrivals part then, another hour trying to pick up then another ½ an hour trying to get out of the gaff. Needless to say I'm not going there anymore.

Well that’s a shame they just spent £300 million putting a bypass, which runs from the A6 in Hazel Grove to the M56 via the existing A555 in Bramhall, to make it easier for you townies :D should have been open last November, but there behind, so it will be early this year, why are they behind? They say there’s been to much rain :x

Easy peasy. :D
