Quite agree Phileas. I live by the A14 and the next two flights I have are from BHX. 1hr20mins, LHR is crippling to get to from here. Even LTN which is only 5 miles more than STN is a pain to get to. Even EMA is feasible A14,M1. I worked by EMA for a month a few years ago and many times I could do it in 1hr30, a very straight forward 1hr30 not changing roads constantly.
