2 hours for scheduled and 3 hours for chartered flights are the norm no matter what size of the airport
Which makes it even worse for early morning departures if arriving by train.

The posts by LTNMAN are typical of what is normally posted on the Stansted thread , they always seem to think any expansion/extra fights within 100 miles of Luton should of gone to Luton & do not like it. Just take a look at the last few posts on the Stansted thread.
You must find a quote and post it here because I can't find any

SEN has a train station and LTN doesn't.
True but if we are going to be petty Luton has a motorway and Southend doesn't

From 2135 until 2305 there is a train every 30 minutes to London, so few people are going to be affected unless there are inbound flight delays
Err how about all of Easyjets's arrivals after 22:30?

Finally, don't speak as if the majority of pax arrive by train because they don't
Very true, wonder why the airport is making a big thing about the station then?

Does Southend have a good future as a London Airport? Well actually I hope so.
