Schedules at Stansted for S14 look a lot less peaky than they have done for several years.
Typically from about 13:30/14:00 till 16:00 in the afternoon, the place usually pretty much went dead.
That no longer seems to happen where these times are significantly busier for S14. The busiest periods around early afternoon and early evening are also generally slightly less intense than previously, helping to make a much better spread of flights across the day.
Of course there's still going to be some busier and quieter periods, but nowhere near as extreme. Only a brief spell in the morning at around 09:00 or 10:00 and then in the evening for a short time about 21:00 or so, are generally quieter.
To put this into context, here is the Departures on a Monday between 13:00 and 15:00 in S13 compared to S14:
