It only exists at night. Between 04:45 and 23:43 there is no N9, and this is the only option here that runs in the small hours at all.

It is slow: 82 minutes to Piccadilly Circus against the Express's 15 to Paddington. You are trading an hour for £24.25.

It runs every night of the week, unlike the Night Tube, which runs on Friday and Saturday nights only.

There are only about a dozen coaches a day and most start from the coach station at Stansted, so a missed coach costs hours.

National Express advises being at the airport three hours before a flight, so do not plan a connection tighter than that by coach.
