“The pilot didn’t have enough air time, enough flying hours. This was 2am or 3am in the morning. We’re waiting to get through security, it took two hours.
“In the end the police had to come, not to calm us down, no-one was kicking off, it was broken (to us) by the police - there were no Tui reps whatsoever apart from the police - they told us our

Council leader queries HS2 report behind decision to scrap underground station at Piccadilly
A report published by HS2 finally reveals the thinking behind the decision to build a turnback surface station at Piccadilly instead of the underground option preferred by northern leaders.
