I'm sure it would be possible to bus people to their stations. Would any other airport do such a thing I wonder in the same circumstance? Say BHX for instance where I know from personal experience transport is limited after about 11pm. The last train out of STN tonight is 00.30, would they transport stranded passengers?

Yes, it's all down to the French ATC and only one easyJet aircraft at SEN until tomorrow. At least the Belfast and Barcelona flights operated, although delayed. The Amsterdam flight was cancelled. All we need is heavy snow tomorrow....
G-EZFT
Not actually 'diverted' into SEN I don't think, but flight planned I believe as a sensible London destination due to slot problems at LGW.
Not just a matter of positioning it in early as the second based aircraft ready for tomorrow either, as it departed elsewhere this afternoon.

G-EZFT was already at Southend and had no flights planned today (due 2nd Southend line of flying beginning tomorrow) so positioned empty to LGW to operate extra flight LGW-BCN for disrupted passengers and then operated BCN-SEN flight again with disrupted passengers as that's where the plane would be flying from on Thursday. It was never due to or planned to operate into LGW or divert from LGW.
Good job by all to assist Lon-BCN-Lon passengers disrupted by the French ATC strikes
