Stansted Express wasn't a bad ride.

My experience of the Stansted Express is it's like a dirty inner-london
bone rattler, nothing compared to Southern Gatwick trains or the
Heathrow Connect let alone Gatwick Express or (presumably) Heathrow
Express.

And that's just the trains.

Never been on a 4CIG to Brighton, then? More minging than the new
Liberal leader, IMO. Equally, the inside of a StanEx 317 is nicer than
the inside of a Thameslink 319. Doubtless when the 317s are replaced
and the Electrostars are 25 years old, the story will be different.
