Thanks for reminding me why I really, really should not bother with
attempting to be remotely helpful to people on this group.

Frankly, given the quality of the "help" offered, I'd be inclined to agree
with you. You might work for LU, but I have to *use* the "service" you
"offer" in the real world.

You seem to somehow imagine that I don't use the tube and buses every
day to get about London.

So why are you advising, contrary to that offered by your employers,
people to use Kings X? And indulging in pointless pedantry? What
the station is called is of no consequence. It's a 500 yard walk, out
of doors. End of debate. All else is pointless willy-waving.

The original poster asked about both Stansted and Luton. Therefore my
answer covered both - but obviously not to the level of detail you feel
appropriate given that *you* clearly have to walk from St Pancras at
present or else you would not be making such a song and dance about all
of this.

If the OP opts to use Luton Airport they have NO option to avoid St
Pancras and Kings Cross if they travel by train into the current
terminal. Other people suggested changing further out e.g. at West
Hampstead. The OP gave only approximate details as to the extent of
their encumbrance, whether they were able bodied or not, whether
frequency was more important than a direct service etc. A little more
detail would have allowed a more focused and accurate reply - there is
no way of knowing whether your view about using Stansted is any more
appropriate than anyone else suggesting Thameslink via St Pancras and
Kings Cross or changing to the Tube at West Hampstead or Kentish Town.
No criticism of the OP is implied in the above comments before you leap
to an inappropriate conclusion.

Oh and I notice you haven't bothered to answer my question to you. Still
you're only here for the wind up potential so I guess a straight answer
was expecting too much.
