Got to be at Stanstead airport on Friday at 4am - just looked and the train from Liverpool Street station only leaves at 4am.

Is there any other way (apart from Taxi as it will be too expensive) to get there..? or can I sleep in the airport overnight..?

Cheers
Claire

It's either drive, hotel at the airport or nearby B&B.

you get some "interesting" people on easybus (there's the voice of experience).

If you know anyone nearby, I'd go visiting hehe

That and the one on the way back stop at around 1:30am as I took that back too when flying in from Finland in Jan...

Im so hoping I can fly from gatwick instead and might be able to get a more reasonable 8:30 flight.
