A fresh update from Skyscraper City of Manchester city centre.

For those trying to get their bearings, the building with the arched roof is GMEX - the former Central station - and the view is looking northwest.

It really is unrecognisable compared to 10 to 15 years ago. Not too much of a stretch to say even 5 years ago.

Just to the right of Deansgate Square South Tower, 64 Stories, there will be 3 other 50+ storey towers built. Elizabeth is currently under construction, and the Blade and the Circle, temporary names, will follow. All Renaker. In-between Deansgate Square West Tower and Beetham Tower, Viadux Tower, 40 Stories, will be built by a just announced partnership between Salboy (Fred Done) and Ask Real Estate. Further to the left, St Michael’s Tower, 40 Stories, will be built by Gary Neville and his consortium.

Notice how empty the Mancunian Way inner city ring road is.

For those uncertain of the orientation of this picture the dual-carriageway heading into the city is Chester Road which leads into Deansgate where you can see the road curve to the left.

In this view the railway line running top to bottom is the route out to Warrington Central.

All checked in for my flight to Sydney from Manchester via Heathrow. Been waiting for this trip for nearly a year and now tomorrow I'll finally head to Australia and New Zealand!
If anyone would like to share their local airport news right here in our news area let me know so I can give you the correct permissions to do so. It only takes a couple of minutes to upload a news story with an accompanying image. The news items can then be shared on the site homepage by you. #TakePart #Forums4airports Bring the news to one place!
survived a redundancy scenario where I work for the 3rd time. Now it looks likely I will get to cover work for 2 other teams.. Pretty please for a payrise? That would be a no and so stay on the min wage.
Live in Market Bosworth and take each day as it comes......
Well it looks like I'm off to Australia and New Zealand next year! Booked with BA from Manchester via Heathrow with a stop in Singapore and returning with Air New Zealand and BA via LAX to Heathrow. Will circumnavigate the globe and be my first trans-Pacific flight. First long haul flight with BA as well and of course Air NZ.
15 years at the same company was reached the weekend before last. Not sure how they will mark the occasion apart from the compulsory payirse to minimum wage (1st rise for 2 years; i was 15% above it back then!)
