Stansted Express
Stansted Express
You just landed. Now fly into London.
Lucky you. You’ve just landed in one of the greatest cities in the world. We bet you can’t wait to start your travels. So why wait? The Stansted Express from Rail Europe offers all the convenience and comfort of rail travel, with none of the disadvantages of taxis. Like getting stuck in traffic and paying through the nose for the privilege (sorry, but this is no time to flex the mighty dollar). The Stansted Express leaves Stansted airport every 15 minutes during the day, and delivers you non-stop to Liverpool Street station or Tottenham Hale station, both in downtown London. (The Tottenham Hale station even has direct access to the London underground.) So why take a cab when there is a non-stop rail link between London Stansted airport and downtown London? Any good travel book will tell you the same thing, just like any good travel authority. Rail Europe strikes again.
More Details:
- Non-stop rail service between Stansted Airport and Tottenham Hale/London Liverpool Street stations. (Tottenham Hale rail station provides direct access to the Victoria Line of the London underground.)
