Yes, to be clear, I do understand that Ryanair can't necessarily magic up coaches in the middle of the night, but the part of my post that you omitted when quoting explains the point I was making, i.e. distinguishing between what's practical and what's required under the regulations!

It depends on when the airline learned that the flight is being diverted. It takes a few hours to get from Alicante to Stansted. It takes at least half an hour for the aircraft to land. Whether the airline representative started to look for a coach after landing or well in advance is unclear.

Well, yes, nobody knows the detail of this specific case, so there'd seem to be limited value in speculating about such timescales.
