Gatwick Airport to London

I think from now on I might just make a point of doing that all the time! It'd be quicker than waiting for them to select a Gatwick Express ticket so that I can press "start again" and buy the ticket I want once they've gone to mug the next customer!

For an off peak return journey an East Croydon Travelcard and Gatwick to BZ6 return is cheaper than the ticket the helper suggests and is valid on Gatwick Express; both can be bought from the TVM too.

I misread that as Gatwick Excess ticket at first.... rather freudian methinks...

That's beautiful. If I had a mobile that worked in the UK I'd do it.

If you can find a phone that works on 3G (W-CDMA 2100MHz), might I also suggest you get a Three mobile SIM card and put a £15 top up which will buy you calls, texts and unlimited (25GB fair use) data within the UK and many EU countries including France and Spain? I think you can even buy a SIM pack from vending machines at the airport with the add on already included and activated as soon as you put it in a phone.

Looking at your location, you can even use it until the bundle expires back in the US! It's prepaid and doesn't need to be registered.

Gosh, there's a new username for me if I get bored of this one!

I just returned home to the 'States. Thanks to all here. We purchased 7 Pound 90 tickets for the Thameslink train into Blackfriars just as suggested. Without your help I probably would have fallen foul of the "helpers" and spent considerably more money. I also warned the young lady sitting next to me on the plane of them.

And the train was waiting for us when we went downstairs to the track.

And that Oyster Card worked GREAT!!! I love how you can turn them in at the end of your visit and get your 5 Pounds back along with unused fare.

Again, my thanks to everyone.

You're welcome. Glad you had a good experience.
