Paul H, it would appear that you are confusing TMZs with CAS. The Stansted TMZs
are Class G airspace. The definitive AIC is

You may fly non-radio non-transponder EGTR-EGSU if you want provided that you remain within Class G airspace and outside the EGLG ATZ and comply with Rule 45 by making arrangements with both ATZ ATSUs.
You may fly non radio and squawk 7000.
You may fly non radio and squawk 7000 with Mode C.
You may fly non radio and squawk 7000 with Mode S.
You may enhance that by listening to Luton 129.550 or Stansted 120.625 whilst squawking 0013.
You may communicate with from Farnborough (North) LARS 132.8. to obtain ATSOCA.
If your route actually requires that you penetrate the EGSS TMZs without Mode C then approval can be obtained via Farnborough or EGSS outside Farnborough hours.
The list is almost endless.
Quite frankly the simplest way to navigate from EGTR-EGSU is via BPK-BKY outside the TMZs not above 2400 EGLL QNH. Then you can communicate as your spare capacity will permit.
Don't forget to check the AIS Freephone number beforehand for any CAS(T) or RA(T).
