Coaches to London

I have noticed in the last month that coaches between London and Stansted (A6 and A9) are very often extremely full... often sold out on National Express' website before they even depart the first stop in London. Even allowing for no-shows, pax at bus stops in London wanting to pay the driver are routinely being told "Sorry the coach is full, wait for the next coach in 30 mins" - fine if this happens once, but not fine if pax is told this multiple times in 2 hours !

I am wondering if it's time either for National Express to increase frequency of service.. or (ideally) if there is space for another coach company to enter the London-Stansted market as there was in 2019. The current coach service is beginning to look like monopoly-style profits are being made
