And a train can only take the passengers for about four planes. With
the latter landing or taking off every two minutes, do the math.

Three and three-quarter trains per hour could carry everyone?


Now add the expected 50% increase.


Since the M11, A120 and the trains from Stansted to Cambridge carry a fair
number of people, I would think there would still be enough room.


Apparently the trains are full at the moment, so the approximations we
are discussing nevertheless have some "pinch points" that need relief.
