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.


As soon as the stasi have finished arresting all the train spotters and
plane spotters, 4tph will be sufficient...
