A 06:00 flight on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday has no train that works. The first from Liverpool Street those days is 04:40, and the airport's own advice is to allow at least four hours for the journey from London.
The train stops for five hours overnight. The coaches do not, so a landing between 00:30 and 05:30 is a coach whatever the price says.
Group and two-person tickets exist but cannot be priced here. Duo Single and Stex Duo cover two people traveling together; Anytime Group covers three to five and is sold only at ticket offices. GroupSave, the usual third off for three or more, does not apply between Stansted and Liverpool Street or Tottenham Hale.
Railcards are accepted at ticket offices only, not on online bookings, and the ticket office is open 06:30 to midnight.
Tapping in with contactless works here since March 2026 and is not the cheap option; Oyster does not work at all.
