I had an early flight out of Stansted and was glad I’d already booked my ticket online. The train ran exactly on schedule, there was Wi-Fi and power outlets on board, and I had no trouble stowing my luggage. The ride was smooth and on time, so I arrived at the terminal without any stress. I’ll book it this way again the next time I visit London.

The ride both ways was great! Clean train on time. It is great you could choose from three stations in London so you end up very central.
