Pre paid for mid stay at Stansted. Barrier lifted on arrival, not so on departure. Quite a few cars in front of us trying to get out & some idiot thought it would be a good wheeze to start honking his horn - like that's obviously going to resolve the issue. Took about 10 minutes before the barrier eventually started working again. Catching the shuttle from the airport the attendant ( not the driver) was very abrupt, bordering on rude. Told my elderly husband he had to carry our 2 cases to the back of the already packed bus. As I'm disabled I couldn't be much help. Did the attendant offer to help? Nah. Luckily 2 young men did. It's also worth mentioning, when waiting for the shuttle bus, if it's raining you'll get soaked, as there's no cover to wait under
