Me neither - especially with aforementioned train journey changes, the through Manchester-Norwich service is stopping and all journeys will require a change of trains in Nottingham. A J41 would make far more sense on this route, I think this could be the first of colds caught by LM due to the poor economics of using the ERJ on such short hops.
I used the BE service on a regular basis 2006-2007 for work, much quicker and easier than the train, admittedly helped by the fact that at the time I lived near Norwich Airport and my work was based in Wilmslow. Flights were always busy (to be fair I used the popular Sunday evening or Mon morning out, Fri evening back flights) and fares were IIRC very reasonable, Finance certainly never complained when I put my expenses in!
