Gatwick
is served by a good number of public transport options including a range of
rail services, buses and coaches. It can make a great deal of sense to leave
the car at home and get on the Coach or train, so you don't have to worry about parking or driving jet
lagged on your return.
Gatwick Airport by Gatwick Express
There
are more than 900 train services daily to and from Gatwick Airport train
station going to all parts of the UK. A number of train services run direct to Gatwick Airport Station.
The nearest train service is the Gatwick Express which can be taken from
Gatwick South Terminal Train Station.
The Gatwick Express is the fastest train service running directly
from Gatwick Airport into central London. It is a non-stop train operating between Gatwick airport and central
London (Victoria station).
As the rail station
is inside the airport terminals, it's a painless transfer between train and
aircraft.
It takes 30 minutes
to reach Victoria and the trains run every 15 minutes during the day (Check
timetable )
Ticket
desk s are available in both terminals and the train station.
