Hi all:

I stumbled across the EasyJet website and they offer a 10% discount on the GEX service. I know it's not much but every little bit helps, right?

So, if you go to www.EasyJet.com you will see the "to/from airport" tab then just click on the "Airport Transfers" portion for London Gatwick.

Cheers!

good info but if you really want to save you'll hop Southern Trains that duplicate the GEX service to Victoria for about half the GEX price. www.nationalrail.co.uk so you'd save much more than 10%

We arrive right at rush hour so I opted for GEX to get into Victoria We are taking the Themeslink back.

GEX is a much better train in all ways except price - it sits at Gatwick usually waiting - Southern Trains are coming from Brighton or some place and could be mobbed at rush hour so good choice. Much better for luggage either way.

Pal, are you certain that the Southern Trains price is half or less than the GEX?

No

quick check of nationalrail.co.uk seems to list Southern Trains at 8.90 pounds and GEX at 14.90 pounds so not exactly half off but a lot more than 10% - but Southern Trains take 2 minutes longer on the average it seems

If there's 3 or 4 adults in the group they can travel for the cost of 2 on the GEX - see the website

and it seems off and on that GEX has 2 for 1 offers but not currently i guess but always ask at the ticket window. ditto for Southern Trains i guess.

the actual 2 for 1's were cancelled because of "fraudulent use" - which I suspect really means too many people sharing the info on-line.
