New £3 Harlow to Stansted Bus Offers Fast and Affordable Airport Travel

A new express 723 bus now connects Harlow to London Stansted in just 30 minutes for only £3, giving airport workers and travellers a fast, affordable alternative to taxis.

Airport mornings don’t wait. Alarm rings. It’s dark outside. Roads look empty but the taxi app shows £25. Sometimes more. You look at it. Think for a second. Still book it. Because missing a flight is not worth the risk.

But this routine might start changing.

A new 723 express bus is starting. Around 30 minutes it runs from Harlow straight to London Stansted Airport. Just £3. Hard to believe for many travellers who been paying much higher taxi fares for the same journey.

Michael Jennings, Head of Commercial at Arriva South, stated:

"This new service is about giving people a real alternative to the car when travelling to London Stansted."

For airport workers, this feels big. Their day starts when others still sleeping. Or ends when buses already gone. Taxi became the normal option. Costly, but necessary. This new bus could ease that pressure. Save money every single week.

Still, taxis won’t disappear. They always there when things go wrong. When buses don’t show. When timing don’t match. When luggage is heavy and patience is low. Door-to-door just feels simpler. Less thinking. Less stress.

Steve Mills, Surface Access Strategy Manager at London Stansted Airport, stated:

"The new 723 service will be a great addition, providing airport staff and local residents with a fast and cost-effective direct service."

So now, travellers got more control. Spend less if you plan ahead. Or pay more for comfort and flexibility. Both gets you to the same place. Just in a different way.
