National Express is enhancing its services between London and Stansted Airport, with more journeys and an extra stop.
A new timetable from 8 December will increase departures from Liverpool Street from 49 to 86 per day.
Services from Canary Wharf, which currently stop mid-evening, will operate throughout the night and increase from 25 to 35 per day.
Meanwhile, Bethnal Green will be reintroduced as a stop location, connecting east London with the airport 24 hours a day.
The fastest scheduled times between Stansted and Stratford have been shortened from 50 minutes to 45 minutes.
Ed Rickard, Network Director for National Express, says: “Londoners want airport travel that’s simple, reliable and doesn’t break the bank, and we are delivering exactly that.
“We already operate more services to Stansted than any other coach operator, and this enhanced timetable gives travellers more choice, value and convenience, even during the busiest time of the year.
“Demand for tickets is high ahead of the peak Christmas travel period, so we’re advising customers to book in advance to guarantee a seat for travel.”
The operator highlights that its London to Stansted connections offer free wi-fi on selected services, leather reclining seats, USB power sockets and a 20kg luggage allowance.
Steve Mills, London Stansted’s Surface Access Strategy Manager, adds: “We very much welcome the increases by National Express to further strengthen the coach network to and from London Stansted.
“These additional services will provide more choice and better connectivity for passengers and boost the airport’s proud record as the number one major airport in the UK for passengers using public transport for their airport journey.”
