The X20 service will be re-routed, between Great Dunmow and Stansted Airport, via the B1256, Little Canfield and Takely.

  • The change in route provides a weekly/24hr service to Stansted Airport, Great Dunmow, Braintree and Colchester.
  • 45 minute journeys between Braintree and Stansted Airport.

The maximum single fare remains at £3 until the end of 2025 (funded by HM Government). This offers great value for journeys from Colchester, Braintree and Great Dunmow to Stansted Airport.
