This is a great example of Stobart putting themselves first before their passengers and refusing to see the bigger picture which could cost them passengers. London Victoria coach and railway station is the other side of London and would complement the new early rail journey with an additional starting point.

With the first train now arriving one hour before the first wave of departures and with the airport telling passengers to arrive at the airport 2 hours before departure the coach company makes a good point. I would not use the train after reading about all the passengers who are missing their flights due to terminal queues if I had a 6:30 departure.

It is a sad state of affairs that the airport is not coach friendly as they want to control everything at Southend. I wonder if Stobart knows that when the airport reaches 2 million passengers they will be forced to open up the airport to outside handling agents.
