Traveling from Stansted

Post by mishmashmole »

I am traveling from Sweden for this superb event. I arrive on the Friday morning and depart on Monday evening from Stansted airport. Is there anyone else out there going from Stansted? I just checked the publc travel situation. 3 changes on trains and a bus trip, 3 hours 40 minutes. Bleugh! Any ideas anyone??????

You'd be better off traveling into London and getting a bloc coach. For sure!



Or appeal for some lunatic to give you a lift.

You can also get a coach from Stansted to Angel, cheaper, and Angel is a short walk from York Way.


But the stansted express is the easiest option.

Check the map.... I don't see the point of paying 50 quid return to London when you're already halfway to Bloc! Plus I hate stansted express, made me miss my flight home only a few weeks ago.

@warpiggy - contact me with your travel times etc, would be good to have someone else assure me of how to get there.
