Stansted Express is a sub-brand of National Express East Anglia. It is the direct train service linking central London (Liverpool Street station) to Stansted Airport, one of London's major air hubs. Prior to 2004 Stansted Express was part of the WAGN franchise.

The service runs every 15 minutes with a journey time of approximately 45 minutes. The service also calls at Tottenham Hale for connection to the London Underground and easier access to the West End and North London. Stansted Express originally used a fleet of five Class 322 EMUs until it was decided to change to a dedicated fleet of nine Class 317/7 EMUs and 12 Class 317/8s which work the service today. The displaced Class 322s were redeployed on several other routes/franchises around the country before settling in their current role in Scotland working services between Glasgow/Edinburgh and North Berwick.
