A new ticket aimed at couples travelling by train to and from Stansted Airport is delivering greater flexibility and value.
Stansted Express is trialling its popular ‘Webduo’ rail ticket (which offers savings when two people travel together) as a ‘single’ option (it was previously only available as a return ticket).
The Webduo single costs £32 from London Liverpool Street and £30 from Tottenham Hale, offering a 17.5% saving on the usual single fare.
The single ticket option means that travel plans can be more flexible and cheaper too.
More passengers than ever are using the Stansted Express service to access Stansted Airport, 28% of them are two people travelling together.
The ticket is available to book online only at www.stanstedexpress.com . Terms and conditions apply.
Stansted Express is the fastest and most comfortable way to get between Central London and the Airport. Journey time to/from Liverpool Street is just 47 minutes or 36 minutes from Tottenham Hale and the train station at the airport is directly under the airport terminal, just a 2 minute walk to check-in.
With trains every 15 minutes between London Liverpool Street and Stansted Airport, the Stansted Express not only offers customers a frequent service, but also travel on one of the most modern train fleets in the country, which include free Wi-fi, free charge points and an at seat trolley service of drinks and snacks.
Recent improvements to the service have included the installation of a new, dedicated Customer Service Desk at London Liverpool Street station which includes four ticket machines, a flight information display screen providing departure information for flights leaving in the next 2-3 hours, and a train departure information screen, showing next train and platform information and service updates and will be staffed by customer service assistants who will help passengers with ticket purchasing, general enquiries, flight and rail information and directions to the correct platforms for trains to Stansted Airport. Timetables and information leaflets are also available;
Flights are available from Stansted Airport to over 160 destinations in over 30 countries worldwide.
