===Past fleet=== Stansted Express originally used a fleet of five [[British Rail Class 322|Class 322]] [[Electric multiple unit|EMUs]] until it was decided to change to a dedicated fleet of nine [[British Rail Class 317|Class 317/7]] [[Electric multiple unit|EMUs]] in 2000, further supplemented by twelve [[British Rail Class 317|Class 317/8s]] in 2006. The displaced Class 322s were redeployed on several other routes/franchises around the country before settling into their former role in [[Scotland]], working services between [[Glasgow]]/[[Edinburgh]] and [[North Berwick]]; they stayed there for some time before transferring to [[Northern Rail]], working out of [[Leeds railway station|Leeds]]. They eventually returned into workings out of London Liverpool Street on the GEML, as Greater Anglia needed replacements for the Class 360s sent to EMR. They are planned to be put out of service by the end of 2022. Following the arrival of the new Class 379 units on Stansted Express services, the Class 317/8s were used alongside Class 317/5 and 317/6 units as a common pool. However, since Abellio took over the East Anglia franchise on 5 February 2012, all but one of the Class 317/7s have been scrapped.{{cn|date=July 2024}} {| class="wikitable" |----- bgcolor=#f9f9f9 ! rowspan="2" |Class ! rowspan="2" |Image ! rowspan="2" |Type ! colspan="2" |Top speed ! rowspan="2" |Number ! rowspan="2" |Routes operated ! rowspan="2" |Built ! rowspan="2" |Withdrawn |----- bgcolor=#f9f9f9 !mph !km/h |- |[[British Rail Class 317|317/7]] |[[File:317719 NatEx East Anglia LST.JPG|175px]] |[[Electric multiple unit|EMU]] |100 |160 |9 | rowspan="4" |[[Liverpool Street station|Liverpool Street]] β [[Stansted Airport railway station|Stansted Airport]] |1981β1982 |2011 |- |[[British Rail Class 317|317/8]] |[[File:317881 at Stratford.jpg|175px]] |[[Electric multiple unit|EMU]] |100 |160 |12 |1981β1982 |2011 |- |[[British Rail Class 322|322]] |[[File:Stnstn.jpg|175px]] |[[Electric multiple unit|EMU]] |100 |160 |5 |1990 |2000 |- |[[British Rail Class 379|379 ''Electrostar'']] ||[[File:Tottenham Hale BR station 20161116 091106 (40816506833).jpg|175px]] |[[Electric multiple unit|EMU]] |100 |160 |30 |2010β2011 |2020 |}
