This is a Southend thread so please post your pictures on the Luton thread.
Got to say that is a nice retro shot of the bus which I can just remember but it won't be appreciated here.

Calm down. Airports are just businesses and while very interesting to follow I can't see why some people are behaving like football fans. I am waiting for chants of Luton or southend til I die. and a punch up at the pub after extra time. Grow up everyone and stick to proper news.

Seems that Easyjet aircraft are spending a lot of time on the tarmac at Southend these days. This is great news as the aircraft are not wearing out as quickly and if there is a delay on the first flight of the day there is plenty of time to catch up before the second and only remaining departure leaves.
Passengers at Gatwick and other airports often face delays as easyjet often tries to get 4 return flights a day out of their aircraft so passengers using Southend should benefit from the airlines generous tarmac time.

Well said. Only on this thread could hostility exist when I mention that more destinations could operate from this fantastic go ahead airport that is loved by the traveling public (positive spin) if easyjet utilized their aircraft more. Why that would upset anyone is beyond me.
Calm down.

Don't worry guys ...
I was just playing with the troll, we should all remember that aviation, in LTNman's case, is just a job and we shouldn't be taking our work home with us for fear of becoming boring b@st@rds.
Here's a pic of where I'm living these days ... and not a sign of a Lorraine Chase or a Luton Airport bus in sight ... could be worse, I could be working/living in Luton.
P.S. As a nipper I actually lived in Dunstable ... I've moved on

Nice picture, so when did you move to Southend's seafront? 
Please stop posting comments about Luton unless they relate to London Southend Airport, as you will start to upset the guys here. Your comments are more then welcome on the Luton thread.

That photo really is Southend, with the little train heading to the pier head, and that chap is indeed on the cycle path; but here is an image of the same palm trees in weather rather more typical of recent summers:
Perhaps SEN should use the earlier image to promote Southend as a destination for foreign visitors...........
