I will need to take the Gaitwick Express to Victoria Station to enter the tube system. That much I have gathered from the wonderful help I have recieved here.

Now the question: Is the Gaitwick Express covered by the 7-day passes tourists can buy for the tube/buses system in London?

In other words, will buying a TravelPass (or whatever it is called) at Gaitwick cover the fare on the Gaitwick Express or should I just wait until I reach Victoria Station.

Thanks for any and all advice,

Cheers,

Ron

The travelcards (either Visitor or regular) do not include the Gatwick Express, which is not part of the tube/bus system. Wait til you get to Victoria, and buy a 7-day travelcard for Zone 1 (or 1 & 2 if you're going to places like the zoo or Greenwich).

Anonymous: Thank you for your quick and definitive reply.

They sell tickets to the Express on the train. But make sure it is the express, there are other trains following the same route.

The other trains that follow the same route run equally often, take five minutes longer and cost a pound less. To use them, you buy a ticket from a coin machine at the station.
