Our flight is a 8.15am, from Gatwick South Terminal.

Does anyone know if we can get a "normal" train there in time for our flight, rather than the Gatwick Express which cost a fortune

We are travelling from Central London.

Thanks

Yes I think so ..... but it doesn't get a lot of publicity as it is cheaper than the Gatwick Express! Try thetrainline website for details, but allow extra time, because if there's a delay, the GE gets priority.

KAZZZZA ... just in case it's of interest, we also have a GATWICK AIRPORT Q&As topic in our Airlines & Airports forum, where you may attract some further advice and feedback.

You should be able to travel from Victoria to Gatwick on a train operated by Southern trains.

Hi everyone thank you for you replies.

The cheapest I have found is from London Bridge (easier for us)

Kids £4.45 one way, and adults £8.90 on way. takes 37 Min's.

Cannot use rail card as travelling at 5.30am
