About Gatwick Express
Gatwick Express is a frequent non-stop rail service in the UK that connects London's Victoria station to Gatwick Airport before continuing on to the bustling coastal city of Brighton. This service runs almost every 15-30 minutes and is operated by Govia Thameslink Railway as a profit-making venture since the privatization of the UK rail network in the 1990s.
Trains running under the Gatwick Express banner travel directly between Victoria and Gatwick Airport railway station, with additional stops past the airport at Haywards Heath, Burgess Hill, Hassocks, and Preston Park on a half-hourly schedule.
The trains offer standard, non-reserved seating, first-class compartments, extra luggage storage spaces, and free WiFi.
The easiest way to get cheap train tickets is to use Wanderu. As an official partner of Gatwick Express, Wanderu provides reliable ticketing information and helps passengers find the best deals on Gatwick Express fares.

Gatwick Express Train Guide & FAQs
Yes, Gatwick Express offers WiFi on their trains. Although most trips with Gatwick Express will have WiFi as advertised, some trains might not come equipped with WiFi and onboard WiFi can lose its connection in rural areas. We recommend you bring a book or download a movie just to play it safe. Gatwick Express WiFi is generally best used for surfing the web, checking emails and chatting with friends; you shouldn’t count on the WiFi to binge watch your favorite show.
Yes, there are power outlets onboard Gatwick Express trains. You can generally find one or two sockets per row of seats, so be a good traveller and check if your seat neighbor might want to charge up their devices as well. With the onboard power outlets, you can charge both a computer and USB devices with a USB power adapter that typically comes with most phones and tablets.
Since Gatwick Express might sometimes use replacement train vehicles, not all trips are guaranteed to have power points. We recommend to bring a power bank to charge your phone for all trips over 2 hours, just in case.
On a typical day, Gatwick Express has 10 scheduled train trips in total. However, the exact departure and arrival times vary depending on the day and route. The best way to find the exact schedule for your trip is to use the search tool on this page.
Yes, Gatwick Express offers the option to purchase will call tickets. Will call tickets are an option that allows you to book the tickets ahead of time online, then pick up the tickets from an agent or kiosk once you arrive at the station. Note that you will need to bring the confirmation information you received when you made your ticket purchase. If you choose to use the will call ticket option with Gatwick Express, please make sure to bring the same credit card you used to purchase the tickets with you when you pick them up.
No, Gatwick Express does not require an ID to board its trains at this time. Of course, it is always a good idea to carry a government-issued ID whenever you hit the road.
Yes, there are bathrooms on Gatwick Express trains. The bathrooms are pretty basic and include a toilet, toilet paper and hand sanitizer. Most bathrooms don’t have running water. As you will be using a bathroom on a moving vehicle, please use caution and hold on to a rail at all times.
Gatwick Express does not offer meals or beverages onboard. We recommend you bring a drink and some snacks for your trip. We also suggest packing a reusable water bottle with you to reduce your impact on the environment. However, note that most trains do not allow you to bring your own alcoholic drinks.

Gatwick Express focuses on delivering a great travel experience at a low price and currently does not offer premium features like extra legroom or onboard entertainment. But these days, between your laptop, tablet, smartphone and e-reader, you’re the master of your own entertainment even on longer journeys.
