Gatwick Airport to Bournemouth transport.

Hello Everyone,<BR><BR>We will be visiting London &amp; Bournemouth during May 2003. Our flight arrives at Gatwick at around 11:00pm. Does anyone know if there is some sort of transport (rail, bus, etc) from Gatwick to Bournemouth around that hour? I checked www.rail.co.uk, but I didn't see anything after 10:15pm.<BR><BR>Thanks,<BR>Suhas

I think your choices are, a) stay at a Gatwick hotel overnight and take a train in the morning or b) arrange a car service to take you to Bournemouth that night. I think the latter would cost well over GBP100 -- but then so would the first, probably.

OOps sorry...I didnt notice the prolonged stop on the train schedule. Best to stay at a gatwick hotel upon arrival...take a cab its usually cheaper than waiting for the hotel transport. Could you get an earlier flight?
