How many people work in Trafford Park? IIRC the working population of
Heathrow is around 6-8 thousand.

According to the link below, there are 7,000 in the Trafford Centre
alone, not to mention the huge industrial area of the Park.

If I've not read it incorrectly, it is claimed that some 40,000 work
in the entire Park - making it rather bigger in employment terms than
Heathrow. That it was so huge (I was thinking more like 10,000 off
the top of my head) surprised me greatly.

Not only that, but Trafford Park has very little in the way of rail
passenger transport. I would suspect that the great majority of its
lower-paid employees arrive by bus - though admittedly there are
(unlike at Heathrow) vast swathes of free parking and few security
concerns.
