There's no direct train from Harwich to Stansted Airport. The rail route typically involves a Greater Anglia service from Harwich International to Manningtree (~10 min), then a train to London Liverpool Street (~1 hr), then the Stansted Express back out of London (~47 min) — requiring 2 changes and taking 2.5–3+ hours. You're essentially travelling into central London and back out again, which makes no geographic sense for a journey that's almost entirely within Essex. There are no direct coach services either. Our private hire taxi takes the direct A120 route in approximately 1–1.5 hours — cutting out London entirely.
Take a train from Harwich International to Manningtree (~10 min), change to London Liverpool Street (~1 hr), then catch the Stansted Express (~47 min). Total: 2.5–3+ hours with 2 changes — absurdly routing through central London for a journey that's within Essex. Heavy luggage through Liverpool Street at peak times is a nightmare. Advance tickets: £40–£80+ per person.
There's no direct bus or coach service from Harwich to Stansted Airport. You'd need to bus to Colchester, then find an onward connection — taking 3+ hours with multiple changes. Not practical for early morning flights or late-night arrivals, extremely limited luggage space, and virtually no scheduling flexibility for your flight time.
