The Stansted Airport Track Transit System (TTS) is a people mover located at London Stansted Airport in the United Kingdom

Guideway

The system is double track, with 3.2 km (2 miles) of track in total and includes a maintenance deport at one end. The system contains elevated and tunneled sections connecting the main terminal building with two satellite buildings, numbered 2 and 3.

Vehicles

Five C-100 cars were originally built by Bombardier Transportation for the system. This was increased to a total of nine cars when four new CX-100 cars were delivered during the 1998 expansion. Trains are automated (driverless) and follow the British road and rail convention of driving on the left.
