There are four trains per day (two in each direction) operated by CrossCountry on the Stansted Airport to Birmingham route. These use British Rail Class 170 diesel units.
Greater Anglia services stop at Manea on Sundays (twelve services a day, six each way). The first service is the 09:03 to Peterborough, the last is the 20:11 to Colchester via Ely and Ipswich.
