Travelling to the airport - by whatever means - is stressful, and anything that reduces that has to be worth considering, which is why I was (relatively) happy to drive to Stansted and park at 03:30 one summer morning. I gave Long Stay a try this time, to compare it with my usual choice, Medium Stay. The biggest shock was the huge queue for the transit bus at four in the morning: so many people that two buses came and went before I could get on one (one didn't even stop; it was packed from the previous stop). That was something of a logistical failure on the part of whoever arranges the buses and it needs addressing. Otherwise, all good. Arrival and departure were smooth and simple and the ANPR worked fine.
