Gatwick Express Question

I really don't feel like booking online as I have so many e-tickets already in my purse. If I remember correctly you can buy tickets onboard the train from the conducter. Am I right? I don't feel like standing in line at Victoria either.

Yes - you can buy tickets from the conductor.

If you want to save money, there are two other train lines that travel between Gatwick Airport and central London, they take about 5-10 mins longer and are much cheaper. You can buy tickets at the machines near the platforms.

Check out First Capital Connect and Southern Trains on:

I didn't mention the other trains KayF cites because you said you don't want to queue. You can't buy tix on those trains - You'd have to queue or buy tix on-line.

For your specific criteria - the GEX is best.
