Air's second station, when I went a week ago it was only running on two trains and they weren't using the station to your left?? The trains builded up so did the queues (20 mins - 60 mins). Does anyone know whats happened??

I've been 4/5 times this year and the right station hasn't been working for non of those days.
Perhaps needs a part.

I think it's just down to reduced throughput on off peak days to save a bit of money, like many other coasters on the park they only run limited trains. Nemesis runs one instead of two, Air runs 2 instead of 3. When they run two trains they don't have any need to use the second station.

I've never used the right station. I never even knew it existed until a few months ago.Altonboy001 wrote:Emporium wrote:I meant station on the right, sorry!!

AT only use both on peak days to save money, rather than have 2 stations as its unneeded

On Bank Holiday Sunday they had station 2 loaded with a craft and ready to go at 9:30.
They ran exclusively with station 1 during ERT then as soon as the rest of the park opened they went to 2 station/3 craft operation.
It's purely down to budgetary reasons that they only use station 2 when they absolutely have to.

Are we talking about the illusion things? I personally cannot say I noticed, though I'm not usually staring at the seats anyway lol
