As a reasonably frequent passenger on Belfast - London services, I was saddened when BE pulled out of LGW. The 195s are a pleasure, and the loss of BE took away some choice from the route. I hoped that BE would return (somewhere) in London, but initially LCY didn't look too enticing. However, I checked travel times from LCY to Westminster...and it's a mere 25 minutes. Compare that to LGW / LHR / STN and it begins to look very attractive. And the Q400 isn't a bad machine by any means...4 abreast always makes it feel more spacious (even if it isn't) than the 6 abreast competition. So all-in-all, this might be a smart move. Will definitely give them a try.
