If you arrive at London Stansted on an international flight you will need to pass through passport control/immigration, whether your connecting flight is domestic or international. You will therefore need the correct documentation for entry into Britain. If you are connecting from a UK flight to an international flight you will need to pass through special immigration control points where you may be asked to show your passport.
I suppose it does!
I guess I was distracted by the "special immigration control points" ... and thinking about what would happen if I was doing it the other way around ... DUB-STN and then STN-ZAG ?
