VA would NEVER move their ops to STN. It does not make sense. 40 minute train journeys on a crappy train from a crappy station? No way. LGW perhaps, if the new owner (if any) were to make improvements that made VA happy. With all the investment into the dedicated VA terminal at T3, it wouldn't make sense to up and move to the sticks in Essex.
mattcam, we'll find out in April when the final recommendation is made.
