Manchester Airport (MAN/EGCC) in the UK has 2 runways:

05L/23R - this is the original runway

05R/23L - this runway is the airport's 2nd runway and was opened in 2001

Runway numbers correspond to their magnetic headings to the nearest 10 degrees (so runway 23 faces approximately 230 degrees magnetic). Due to the nature of constantly changing magnetic variation runways occasionally require re-designating. As a result of this on 07/06/2007 Manchester re-designated their runways from 06L/24R and 06R/24L to 05L/23R and 05R/23L.
