You might try looking at Stansted's website and looking under 'Getting to the Airport', otherwise, look at The Train Line and National Express to see what you can get by train or coach respectively. I suspect you will have to travel via Central London and make a change or two.

Stansted express goes to Liverpool street from there you can get a train on to Gillingham.

Many thanks for your replies, great help.

Hi Carol .. just in case you need any more info or advice related to the airport, we have a STANSTED AIRPORT Q&As topic in our Airlines & Airports forum.

You CANNOT get a train from London Liverpool Street to Gillingham, you need to transfer across Central London, probably by Underground.

If you decide to go by train it is considerably cheaper to buy a through ticket for the whole journey at Stansted rather than buying it in stages (make sure you specify Kent not Dorset!). And if you're going back it is also cheaper to buy a return rather than two singles.

The most convenient route would be via London Liverpool St/ Victoria although it would be marginally quicker to change from Stansted Express to Underground at Tottenham Hale. The National Rail website is currently a bit confused about fares for the Tottenham Hale option but gives the times as the fastest option. I fyou want to see the times via Liverpool Street fill in the "via" box.

Through tickets used to include the Underground portion of the journey (which means even more savings!), if they still do the ticket should have a Maltese Cross printed on it which means that it will work the Underground automatic gates.
