From arrivals to Stansted Airport station

Three steps once you have collected your bags.

Heathrow Terminals 2 & 3 or Terminal 4 rail station.

02

Buy and validate a ticket

Before boarding — a ticket bought but not validated can be fined.

03

Ride to Stansted Airport station

84–95 min.

Worth knowing

Monday to Saturday from Terminals 2 and 3. On Sundays the first is 07:39.

Only a contactless card or phone pays the TfL fare; a paper ticket from Heathrow to Stansted is not priced here. The coach is cheaper (from £21.30) and about as quick, but runs about a dozen times a day.
