    Maybe better of going direct to Heathrow with BA

    We are all going down to Prodigy/Fabric in December. It cost us £64 each return.

    Easyjet was working out around £35 each for the times we wanted and couldnt be arsed with the hassle/cost of train/coach from Stanstead, so worked out more or less the same with BA.

    The train (standsted express) is £25 return and takes about 30-40 mins if I can remember.

    The bus is far cheaper but I have nevr used it.

    To be honest when travelling to London the train takes just as long and is a lot cheaper.

    Plus you get the added bonus of drinking a cheap cargo :up:

    you can get the train from bishops stortford into the city for £12 return
    bishops stortford is like newcastle to wallsend in terms of distance from stanstead

    Not been on the bus. But i imagine with London traffic it will take 2 hours. At least.

    Stansted is over 40 miles from London centre. The last 5 or 6 miles in will take an hour themselves.
