Travel Comparison
Taxi vs Stansted Express vs Coach – Central London to Stansted
Address user pain points like train station transfers, luggage handling, and ride-share uncertainty. Position the taxi as the most reliable solution.
Stansted Express Train
Stansted Express from Liverpool Street to Stansted (~47 min) plus Tube/bus to Liverpool Street. Total: 1–1.5 hours with 1–2 changes. Dragging luggage through busy stations, up/down escalators, and waiting for connections adds stress — especially with children or during peak hours when trains are crowded.
Coach from Central London to Stansted
National Express coaches from Victoria to Stansted take 1.5–2 hours with limited daily departures. No flexibility for early-morning or late-night flights, limited luggage capacity, multiple stops along the route, and no guarantee of arriving on time. Not viable for time-sensitive airport departures.
