The handling of the problem of the lack of public transport access to SEN by Stobart outside of the train times has been nothing short of inept.
A solution rests firmly in their hands by providing a Stobart coach link from London in the early morning and to London late at night. They were using a Stobart liveried coach during recent weekend rail engineering work to shuttle between SEN and Billericay.
This Summer there will be three EZY morning departures (plus a CFR departure) and two late evening arrivals, which would greatly benefit from such a coach service and I did have hopes that at last it would materialise this Spring.
As far a road access is concerned both the A127 and the A13 (which can definitely be counted as that is slightly the quicker of the two) provide good access to the City in around an hour. It can certainly be "a trial" during the rush hours but which roads are not? The M25 can be reached at Brentwood in around 25 minutes from personal experience. No, it's not road access that is the problem but the public transport situation certainly remains so.
