Hi Fuji,
I am not sure that you got Roffa's point. The same people control ESSEX and LUTON. They are the one and the same as regards controllers.:) it is just that the do the different sectors at different times. There is not a separate group of people for each aerodrome!!
So the reason you don't get a transit is not because of personalities it must be because of something else.:)

PM sent thanks. :)

Fuji Abound, perhaps you would care to visit TC Stansted and TC Luton at West Drayton (for the next few weeks anyway) and we can show you exactly what are the problems and challenges in trying to accommodate VFR transits on both sectors and we can better understand your point of view. PM me if you are interested.
