Stansted is running at well below its runway capacity. If it ever grows to
need more passenger terminal capacity, it will simply need a new, fourth
satellite replacing the current cargo terminal, with a station on the
transit line running directly underneath. There's plenty of room to move
the cargo handling area to the west, or north of the runway.

There's a plan to build a new arrivals terminal, to the northeast of the
current terminal building:

That will presumably mean some rejigging of pier walkways, or else another
stop on the transit (it's roughly where the depot is now).

The new terminal is alongside the tracks from the current terminal to
the depot. In practice they could keep the current arrivals station, and
filter people into the new terminal instead of the old. The full plans
are doubtless online, for anyone interested.

That seems to be what they are doing. Passengers appear to walk from the
existing terminal into the new arrivals terminal. It's UTT/16/3566/FUL at

but links to the documents directly don't work. There is no new station
on the TTS.
