Why a taxi beats the train

The clincher for this route: there is no direct train between Stansted and Heathrow. By rail you have to travel into central London, change between mainline stations, then head back out — multiple trains and multiple fares. A private car is a single leg, door to door.

Taxi vs train vs coach

An honest comparison so you can pick what suits your trip. Figures are approximate.

Private taxi75 to 105 minutesFrom £120 per carGroups, luggage, tight connections

Train (via London)2h–2h30 inc. changes~£45–60 ppSolo travellers, no heavy luggage

A direct coach runs between the airports; the train does not — it routes through central London. For two or more people with bags, a fixed taxi fare is usually the easiest and often the best value.
