I've found a faster one:
http://www.stanstedexpress.com/
look in the timetable, if you land 22:25 you'll be able to get the train at 23:00 and reach Liverpool station in about 45 minutes (they said), paying about 22Â£ the round trip.
Friday last run is 00:30, the one we probably get landing in Stansted at 23:30.

, 1 hour after Valen

Pls someone tell me if I misunderstandig this info, I wish not to spend the night in the airport

Anyway the Stanstedexpress advice come from DanTitan, someone who know Stansted very well

A taxi from Stansted into town is likely to cost upwards of Â£40 (black cab) mini cabs might be less but I wouldn't bank on it. The Express should be about Â£13 (if its similalry priced to Gatwick and Heathrow Expresses) and then the zone 1 tube fare will be about Â£1.50. Much more cost effective and I reckon quicker than a car driving down the M11 and slogging through East London. Better for the planet too

The Hostel has 24 hour check-in so don't worry about arriving late, and the tube should get you places up till about 1 o'clock. You should be able to get a black cab quite easily from Liverpool Street as there is a rank outside (up the Escalators passed McDonalds opposite Platforms 3 and 4).

If not the Hostel is a shortish walk (about 30-45 minutes) down Bishopsgate, across the London Bridge and a little further down Borough High Street. I used to walk it quite it happily when I worked near there. Alternatively jump on a bus heading that way (out the Bishopsgate exit at the far end of the Platforms (16-18 end) cross the road and most buses head to London Bridge where you can get off and walk down Borough High Street). If in doubt ask the drivers they are usually quite helpful!

Catching the train from Andover at 6:30am

on Saturday, to allow plenty of time for slow trains and my inevitibly getting lost on the Underground (I have never, and I mean NEVER, been on it!) but should be there in plenty of time for the morning's play.

HAven't checked out what time I need to leave on Sunday yet.

What station do you come into? I should know I've been to Andover on the train but the terminus escapes me!

There is a bar at the hostel. Belushis is the chain of bars and St Christopher's the attached hostel. I believe its licensed till 2, and I understand residents get a discount!

Andover gets into Waterloo

I'll be getting a train right behind you getting into waterloo not long after 8am

I could meet you if you want.

@ Valen as he will arrive not that much earlier then us, and @ everyone who will be still in the hostel pub 'til closing time:

wait us for the last beer!!!

BTW, still havn't an aswer to my previous question: anyone knows which time the last tube leave from Liverpool st.?

Al the Trowel · Post by **Al the Trowel** » Wed Apr 20, 2005 4:32 pm

The last Central Line train to Bank is 0022, and then the last Northern line train from Bank to London Bridge is 0038.

Ember, that's a good idea. Safes me wandering London like a tourist!
Due at 8:19?
