Stansted Express is a sub-brand of Greater Anglia. It is the direct train service linking central London (Liverpool Street station) to Stansted Airport, one of London's major air hubs. Prior to February 2012, Stansted Express was operated by National Express East Anglia. Until 2004 Stansted Express was part of the WAGN franchise.
The service runs every 15 minutes with a journey time of between 46 minutes to over 1 hour during peak times.
Unlike the Heathrow Express and the Gatwick Express, the service also calls at stations between the airport and the central London Terminus. These are Tottenham Hale (which provides interchange with the London Underground and easier access to the West End and North London), Bishop's Stortford, Harlow Town and Stansted Mountfitchet (peak times and some weekend services only).
Famous quotes containing the word express:
“Genius is no more than childhood recaptured at will, childhood equipped now with man’s physical means to express itself, and with the analytical mind that enables it to bring order into the sum of experience, involuntarily amassed.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
