A new 24-hour coach service has launched, connecting Finsbury Park with Stansted Airport at fares starting from £6.99. Operated by Flibco, the service runs every 45 minutes throughout the day and night, making airport travel more accessible for North London residents.
Service Details and Pricing
The journey takes approximately one hour and 40 minutes, with stops at Wood Green and Enfield. Children under three travel free, while those aged four to 13 pay a discounted fare of £3.93. All children must be accompanied by an adult, and youths aged 14 and above are charged adult fares.
Although coach travel is slower than rail, it offers significant cost savings, especially when booked in advance. Currently, many Londoners take the Stansted Express from Liverpool Street, but the new Flibco service provides a convenient alternative for those in North London.
Comparison with Other Transport
Public transport to Stansted has become more attractive after the airport increased drop-off charges. Drivers stopping for 15 minutes or more now pay £28, while those staying under 15 minutes pay £10 – a £3 increase. Drivers lingering over 30 minutes face a £100 Parking Charge Notice, reduced to £60 if paid within 14 days.
Flibco joins National Express and Flixbus as coach options to Stansted. Trainline provides an overview of rail services to the airport.
