I have been a very regular user of BFS-LGW for many years now. For a long period, this route would have had 7 flights on busier days, usually 6 say Tuesday/Wednesday. However, look now at 6th March 2024, a Wednesday. From BFS, there are departures at 6.40, 14.30, 18.30 and 20.55. Now 4 departures. From BHD, departures at 7.40, 9.45 and 14.10. So now the mid-morning departures that used to be at BFS, 9.45 and 14.10, now operate from BHD. The range of flight times ex BFS is now not nearly as good, whilst from BHD, the last flight to LGW is at 14.10. Easy was never very clever at operating a good spread of flights, frequently you could see an early departure at say 6.30ish, then the next not until maybe 4.00pm. If these flights were operated from one airport, they could have a great spread of flights throughout the day. But instead we have stupidity. I have been travelling for long enough to know that this is a great way to ruin a route.
