National Express is increasing capacity on its coach services between London and Stansted Airport to accommodate passengers affected by planned rail maintenance works.
Over five consecutive weekends, from 22 February to 23 March, the coach operator will add 25,000 extra seats in response to the temporary suspension of the Stansted Express rail service between London Liverpool Street and Stansted Airport.
The additional capacity is intended to meet increased demand as passengers seek alternative transport options.
National Express operates nearly 200 daily services to and from the airport, offering a direct connection to the terminal. One-way tickets start from 11 GBP, with the fastest journey taking approximately 45 minutes.
John Boughton, Commercial Director for National Express, said:We recognise the significant impact and inconvenience the upcoming rail disruption will have on travellers. By adding thousands of extra seats on our Stansted services, we’re proud to once again be stepping up to provide customers with dependable and affordable airport connections.
With hundreds of services running day and night to Stansted Airport, customers are repeatedly choosing us because they know we’re the most reliable, affordable and convenient option, with our brilliant coach drivers taking them right to the airport terminal door. We expect to be busy and tickets are selling fast so we’re advising customers to book in advance to guarantee a seat for travel.
