I have followed this forum for a long time and seem to know most posters quirks and opinions, however let’s all try and play nice. In this case I didn’t agree with LTNman’s first point (how you can claim Southend has inferior transport links when his favoured airport currently requires a bus trip to the train station is laughable), but challenge people and present your correct version of the situation as you see it rather than endless posts about individual contributors and their supposed motives, which gets us nowhere.
