We encourage that you become familiar with the measures we have put in place so that we can stop the spread and safeguard people’s health.

Find less busy trains

If you’re looking to avoid the busiest trains and stay safe during the coronavirus pandemic, Stansted Express has you covered. We have taken the time to introduce measures to count the number of people boarding our morning and evening train services across our network. From this, we have been able to pinpoint the busiest trains, so you can check ahead before you travel.

Currently, our busiest times are morning and evening peak services. You can also view our busy train trends. We encourage passengers to check our train trends ahead of booking and ask you to travel on a quieter service where possible to minimise contact with other passengers.
