National Express says it plans to add some 25,000 extra seats on its services between London and Stansted Airport during weekends of rail disruption between 22 February and 23 March, in response to planned Stansted Express rail maintenance works during the period which will leave the airport with no direct rail link to London for five consecutive weekends.
Commercial Director for National Express John Boughton said: “We recognise the significant impact and inconvenience the upcoming rail disruption will have on travellers. By adding thousands of extra seats on our Stansted services, we’re proud to once again be stepping up to provide customers with dependable and affordable airport connections. With hundreds of services running day and night to Stansted Airport, customers are repeatedly choosing us because they know we’re the most reliable, affordable and convenient option, with our brilliant coach drivers taking them right to the airport terminal door. We expect to be busy and tickets are selling fast so we’re advising customers to book in advance to guarantee a seat for travel.”
