A gray morning on the Essex coast: gulls wheel over the Stour estuary while a chauffeured MPV idles under the Harwich terminal canopy. Bags are loaded, a name card lifted, and the van eases away from quayside salt and tidal mud toward lanes that run along reclaimed marshes and wind-scoured hedgerows. The route traces a short but telling geography—tidal estuaries give way to the commuter radial into west London—and the transfer compresses regional character into a two‑hour corridor.
