Announcing the deal with Stansted Express, Mayor of London Boris Johnson said: “We want to continue to attract visitors to the capital, and are conscious of the welcome boost they provide to the economy during the current downturn. This deal will help us do that by making getting about that bit easier – cutting queuing time, and ensuring visitors can access the most cost-effective fares.”

Adrian Warren, Head of Marketing for Stansted Express said the company “are delighted that we can now offer an additional service to our customers to help make their stay in London easier and cheaper.”
