If you lived in, for example, Hastings, which airport would you prefer

There are modes of transport other than trains. Luton and Stansted are
mainly reached by car and taxi, and serve a wide area of the Home
Counties and East Anglia as such. Indeed Luton is to a fairly

than a London one.


Incorrect for Stansted, which had 51% of pax using public transport
(bus, coach and rail) in 2013 - see page 23:

Luton meanwhile had 32% of pax using public transport in 2010 - page 21,
