I'm considering doing a daytrip to Stockholm from London Luton. The air fare
is super cheap on the weekday I want to travel.

There is a flight that departs Luton at 0625 arriving at Stockholm Vasteras
at 0940.

The return departs Stockholm Vasteras at 22:20 and arrives at Luton at
23:25.

How is transportation to and from the STAMFORD BROOK Station to Luton
airport at the times I would need to go to and from Luton?

How is transportation back and forth into Stockholm from the Stockholm
Vasteras airport at these times?

Have you heard of Google? Did you try your own research?

I did my own research finding the flights and flight times and I wanted to
hear recent personal experiences flying through these airports and using the
airport ground transportation.
If you were not interested in providing help, then why bother replying?

Because there is more to me, and more to this group, than free service
provision.

I note that you have posted a large number of enquiries here in a very
short period of time. If you travel as much as your questions suggest,
then you should know more than you appear to; if you don't travel that
much, then you are a timewaster.

I think you are a troll. Convince me that I am mistaken.

Okay.

But I still think you might use Google a bit more.

The "large number of posts" are for an long itinerary that is coming up, so
I haven't gone on the trip yet. It is in planning stages and about 80%
complete at this point.
I decided to post stages of the trip separately rather than going into long
detail of the entire itinerary in a single post..

You obviously got Padraig on a bad day, but I'm inclined to think
that he has a point.

Asking about what to do at the far end of your journey is fine,
but asking how to get to the airport from a house in outer central
London is something that you are going to find out far easier
than the rest of us.

There are many ways that you could find the times of the trains
to the airport: go to one of the many ticket selling web sites,
ring up the National Rail help line, go into the local WHSmith
and buy yourself a time table, go and read same at the local
library or just ask at you local station. But no, you asked us to
do one of these for you.

And as to the times of the bus to the railway station. You live
near the Bus Garage that some of them start from. Go in there
and ask.

Västerås is a city about one hour from Stockholm. There are about 2
trains per hour to Stockholm. Västerås is a growing city and
interesting enough with reasonable shopping etc. I particularly liked
the cathedral and there is a nice park. There are also some
interesting bronze sculptures in the town square (opposite Bill and
Bob's Krog). However if you are only going for a day I would get
straight to Stockholm (and spend half of it in the Vasa museum)

Do tell us exactly why he should lay himself out at your cynical feet?

My feet are not cynical.

My mind is sceptical.

Learn the difference.

I am not even in the UK yet!. I am doing some pre-trip planning and had
already looked up the nearest tube stop to where I will be staying so I
could give a close starting point.
I know there is no tube to Luton and I am not familiar with the buses and
trains of London.

As I said earlier, I also wanted to hear some recent personal experiences
and opinions using the airport ground transportation at both ends.
You can't get that from looking at a timetable.

This took me seconds to find on Google:

You gonna tell me that you couldn't have done this? It can't be *that*
hard!

Almost every travel question asked here can be answered using the web.
End of group?

I'm not concerned about the number of post Kevin has made, but I am
concerned about his itinerary. He seems to be trying to 'do' as many
places as possible. He'll have been everywhere, and experienced
nowhere.
