    Well, what can I say about the station I have been commuting from for 25 years? Disappointing…read morepretty much covers it. Not much has changed in all those years apart from a small extension of the platform and a few more coaches which are already getting full up whichever train you get before 9am. They still only run roughly 1 train an hour and the ticket office never seems to be open when you need it. It doesn't help that you can't speak to anyone actually at the ticket office when you ring but that, unfortunately, goes for any ticket office now I believe. The toilets are a desperate measure when they are open and there's not much to do nearby. If you are unlucky enough to have missed your train you have a long, cold wait in store. In recent years the area has been advertised as easily commutable to/from London but I don't consider 1 train an hour at a price of £3,500 a year to be easy travelling. Staff have not been particularly helpful over the years (I know they take a bit of flack at times but who doesn't in their job?) One exception is a local chap who seems to have been working there from the year dot. Those who are not new to the area will know who I mean. Talk of a loop line to create 2 trains an hour and a shuttle between Braintree and Witham gave a glimmer of hope but has been dropped down to sheer expense. Not a bad station if you only use it occasionally but don't get your hopes up if you're looking to commute.

    Watch out! This…read morecompany is a scam. I was told at the London Liverpool station that I could tap my contactless card to board the train. The contactless cards opened the gates and we boarded. There were no clearly visible signs on the platform or announcements on the train. Contactless cards are accepted everywhere in London. Nothing was posted to indicate that this would be any different. When we got to the Stansted airport station, we and about 20 other people were physically held unless we paid a fine of £150. We were yelled at and threatened by someone with a credit card machine in hand who claimed to be a police officer. We could not leave, we could not advance, we could not buy the ticket there. I tried to find airport authority but they would not let me talk to anyone else. They claim that this fact is sign posted at the entry station. It is not as I looked for signage. They have laminated copies of "proof" of signage. Others have posted that they went back to check, and the signs are not there!! I was charged £65.70 for 3 tickets and £150 for the fee. Someone tried to buy a ticket online there but they would not take it - you must have it before boarding. Same goes for a ticket that was bought on the train - void. But how are you supposed to know? I saw on TripAdvisor someone advising about how to dispute. You can find the original article there. In accordance with the Railways Regulations, we should not have been charged with a penalty fare. According to 6.(2).(b) of the Part 2 of "The Railways (Penalty Fares) Regulations 2018", train passengers must not be charged a penalty fare if the boarded station cannot satisfy "the requirements for the display of notices specified in regulation 8", where regulation 8 is: 8.--(1) The requirements for the display of notices are as follows. (2) Where any entrance onto a platform at the station is not the entrance to, or situated within, a compulsory ticket area, a notice complying with the requirements of paragraph 1 of Part 1 of Schedule 1 ("a standard notice") must be displayed at that entrance. (3) If the station has one or more compulsory ticket areas, a notice complying with the requirements of paragraph 2 of Part 1 of Schedule 1 ("a compulsory ticket area notice") must be displayed at each entrance into a compulsory ticket area. (4) Standard notices and compulsory ticket area notices must also be displayed at sufficient locations around the station so that at least one notice is readily visible to passengers prior to boarding a train at the station, including passengers changing from one train to another train.

    The Stansted Express to and from the airport is a solid and dependable choice to get to the city…read morefrom the airport. It costs about 20GBP and the trip to the last stop (Liverpool Street Station) takes just under an hour. Each time I took the train, it wasn't over crowded with people so I had two seats to myself. On the way back, I tried to plug my phone into the outlet under the seat but it didn't work. Not a big deal. Hold on to your ticket when you get in to the city because I think you usually need to show/beep it on the way out. I'm not too sure because when I arrived, they were holding a gate open because there were too many of us with luggage. You also show your ticket on your way in from the airport and you definitely have to beep it to enter the train from the station in the city. This train may be the most efficient, dependable way to get into the city from the airport, even if it is a bit pricey.
