Redaktörens anmärkning
Stansted är den tredje mest trafikerade flygplatsen i Storbritannien. Därför kan du behöva stå i kö och vänta på en taxi under rusningstid. Detta kan tillföra en avsevärd tid för din resa.

Convenience
Although the Stansted Express train is affordable, easily accessible and fairly cheap, it doesn’t leave you in the most useful location in the city. Liverpool Street Station is located in the main business district of London, not a place tourists want to visit and there are little to no hotels around. Therefore, to reach your accommodation, you will need to take another train, taxi or bus from there.

Redaktörens anmärkning
Även om easyBus är mycket billigare än National Express, är den ansedd som en av de värsta bussupplevelserna i London, då den är liten, gammal och ganska obekväm. Om du vill ha en smidig och trevlig bussresa, rekommenderar vi att du betalar några pund extra och skaffar en biljett till National Express.
