Just back from a return trip to London using Stansted. Have to say, Fr coming off Lgw is a big loss. I used Stansted as the fares to Lgw on Ezy were too high. Used the so-called Stansted Express, £44.00 return for 2. I have got into London from Lgw for £5.60 single. The "express" was caught behind a slow train on both journeys so at times went at a crawl. Only in the UK would we be proud on having a slow train, I have been in trains twice now that were advertised as slow trains. The journey to/from Stansted is slower than Lgw and is more un-predictable in the sense you can easily be delayed by these slow trains, it has happened to me on that route several times. So Lgw is by far the most convenient route into London, but fares are higher now and the Ezy times are not as good as Fr. Big loss in my opinion.
