- An off peak single to London Liverpool Street starts at 13.35 GBP, with railcard and group discounts on top, subject to time restrictions.
- Advance tickets are sold for the route, and booking direct with Greater Anglia adds no booking fee. Resellers add one for the same ticket.
- The railway station is opposite the terminal, about a hundred steps along a covered walkway. No other London airport puts the platform that close to arrivals.
- Greater Anglia reaches London Liverpool Street in about 52 minutes, and Stratford in 44, with trains roughly every 30 minutes.
- Stratford is the better stop for most of London, with the Elizabeth line, Central line and Jubilee line, unless Liverpool Street itself is where you are going.
- Southend is still 65 km east of London. The station being close does not make the airport close.
What the train costs
| Ticket | Price |
|---|---|
| Off peak single, Southend Airport to London Liverpool Street | from 13.35 GBP |
- Off peak is the fare most arriving passengers will get, since the restriction bites in the weekday morning peak into London, which is the opposite of the direction you are travelling.
- Advance tickets exist on this route and undercut the walk up fare if your flight time is fixed enough to commit to a train.
- Book direct with Greater Anglia. They charge no booking fee. Resellers sell the identical ticket with one added.
- Railcards and group discounts apply, with the usual time restrictions.
The station
- It is opposite the terminal, about a hundred steps along a covered walkway. No other London airport puts a platform that close to arrivals.
- Trains run roughly every 30 minutes.
Which London station
- Liverpool Street in about 52 minutes, which is the headline journey.
- Stratford in about 44 minutes, and for most London destinations Stratford is the better change: Elizabeth line, Central line and Jubilee line all meet there.
Keeping it in proportion
- Southend sits 65 km east of London. A station at the door shortens the walk, not the country in between.
