Need Train Info in London
Hello,
I am flying into London, Gatwick Airport. I am then traveling to Scotland by train. I need to know what train station to go to from Gatwick, I am pretty sure it is Kings Cross. And I am also wondering do I need to take a taxi from the airport to Kings Cross or can I take Gatwick Express?
Thanks for the help!

The Thameslink trains will take you from Gatwick to Londons Kings Cross station. You can check out their website for more info.

For your journey - definitely follow BlingBling's suggestions over Johns's.
Normally the Gatwick express is a great way to go - but in your case the Thameslink goes directly to Kings Cross so you would not have to schlepp your bags on two diffent tube lines or spend the money for a taxi. Thameslink would be much easier, plus faster and cheaper

Forgot to mention that the Thameslink to Kings x train may not be an express, it may stop in Croyden and some other stations but it's still better than having to change stations and buying another ticket for the tube. The Thameslink platforms are a bit of a walk to the GNER platforms - just an FYI.
