Andy Burnham has acknowledged that the links between Sheffield & Manchester NEEDS to be addressed - and he isn't wrong !

“It cannot be right that the Woodhead Pass and the Snake Pass are managed as just local roads that are crumbling”

Manchester Airport T2 Pickup Notice 🚗✈️

​Please be aware that Terminal 2 is currently experiencing heavy traffic and congestion due to airport-wide reconstruction (airlines from T1 and T3 have moved here).

On certain days it can take 30 mins for us to even enter the pick up zone, it seems someone at the airport has planned this totally wrong but we can't do anything about it !

Also be aware we only get 15 minutes to collect you after this length of stay we are subjected to a £100 fine by APCOA the airport management enforcement company, seems ludicrous that they can treat us like this whilst these gridlocks are almost daily.

​To ensure a smooth pickup, please follow these quick steps:

​Collect bags first: Only head to the pickup zone once you have collected all of your luggage and are ready to exit.

​Stay in touch: Message or call me as soon as you are walking out so we can coordinate the exact meeting spot.

​Be prepared for delays: Traffic moving through the terminal zones is moving slowly, so it may take me a while to reach you once you're inside the pick up zone ( T2 West )

​Thank you for your patience.

Yes that is 169.9 Texaco Stalybridge.
At least this is a fuel station that reflect their price drops and looks after their locals.
Unlike others that are currently 10p a litre more !

Please try to remember not to put anything that needs charging in your hold luggage because it could get costly and put the entire aircraft in danger .

Many airlines have toughened their rules on power banks, often requiring that they be stored in hand luggage not checked luggage.
