Stansted Transit (photos)
In message , at 11:21:06 on
Wed, 2 May 2018, David Walters remarked: There's a plan to build a new arrivals terminal, to the northeast of the current terminal building: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-essex-39507329 That will presumably mean some rejigging of pier walkways, or else another stop on the transit (it's roughly where the depot is now). The new terminal is alongside the tracks from the current terminal to the depot. In practice they could keep the current arrivals station, and filter people into the new terminal instead of the old. The full plans are doubtless online, for anyone interested. That seems to be what they are doing. Passengers appear to walk from the existing terminal into the new arrivals terminal. Thanks for finding that. It's UTT/16/3566/FUL at http://publicaccess.uttlesford.gov.u...pe=Application but links to the documents directly don't work. The infamous idox (a crap[tm] solution) temporary links. There is no new station on the TTS. Indeed, and of course no new shortcut walking route from the Ryanair terminal. "International flight passengers will arrive at the new building via walkways or the transit train from the air-side satellite buildings at the existing terminal's concourse level and walk through to the immigration level in the new arrivals building. Passengers will then drop down a level to baggage reclaim and to clear customs before passing through the meeting area and out through the front of the building." And have a longer walk to the trains, no doubt. For reference: "Grow rail mode share from 22% [in 2015] to 25% by the end of 2019 and secure an enhanced timetable of services" - I wonder how they propose to do that, given that with the introduction of a 1tph additional service from the north, the single-alternate-working rail tunnel is now at capacity. -- Roland Perry |
