Easy did a 3x daily A319 some years ago, which I used from time to time and it was always well filled. Stansted is nowhere near Kings Cross train station, which unlike STN is a pig to reach by car and worse to get parked there. This is true for many places around the M25. Although I am nearer to Kings Cross as the crow flies, it is far quicker to get to Stansted.
