You should travel from King's Cross St. Pancras underground station on the
Victoria Line to Tottenham Hale, and then change to a WAGN train to Stansted
Airport.

merci


Je vous en prie.

Either:

- Victoria line from King's Cross-St. Pancras to Tottenham Hale then
train to Stanstead Airport; or

- Circle / Hammersmith and City / Metropolitan lines from King's
Cross-St. Pancras to Liverpool St then Stanstead Express from there
(this last bit may be a bus, depending on the time of day / night)

For Matt and almost everybody else - there is NO FRIGGING 'A' IN
STANSTED (and I know I'm shouting).

I'm more interested in why the questioner asked about Stansted again on
January 22nd, having got reasonable replies the first time he/she asked
on January 19th.
Still, that's me; curiosity and all that....

because some people are too lazy to look at the answers.

Yep, it always annoys me when someone does this.

You should travel from King's Cross St. Pancras underground station
on the Victoria Line to Tottenham Hale, and then change to a WAGN
train to Stansted Airport.


But bear in mind that they charge 22,70 £ (24 £ from Liverpool Street)
return. So if you are not in a hurry the airbuses to Victoria and Stratford
at 12-15 £ return might be better value. http://www.nationalexpress.com/

But I have a question concerning these buses: Is it advisable to book ahead?
At my local airport (Köln, Germany) the buses run frequently, you just take
the next bus and pay at the driver. Booking is neither necessary nor
possible. The National Express web site on the other hand offers booking for
the airport services. So I don't know if it has advantages (even if an air
plane might always be late or early) to use the reservation service. Your
experiences are welcome.

Thank you.

Martin

No need to book for the London Airbus services, in contrast to most other
National Express services where it is *strongly* recommended/compulsory.
This is why I don't think it was the right move to combine them into the
National Express Airport brand together with Flightlinks, which is a
totally different (medium-distance and reservable) operation.

You might get a discount, but that's about it.

Neil
