Train Stations, England
 
What train station in London has trains going to Cambridge, and can I then get a next day train from Cambridge to York? I have reason to believe the stationin London might be Euston Station, but I'm not sure. Can anyone help with specific information? Thanks!<BR>Chuck

To JC. Thanks for the quick response. I want to go direct from Gatwick to the correct train station and be able to spend the night in Cambridge.<BR> Your infor will make my trip less worrisome, and I am most appreciative.<BR>Chuck

Glad to be able to help.<BR><BR>From Getwick Airprot,Thameslink Rail goes directly to Kings Cross Thameslink,then you could walk to Kings Cross.

An alternative is that there is a direct bus from Gatwick to Cambridge approx once per hour. It isn't fast (takes 3-4 hours) but at least you don't have to change (except some buses do require a change at Heathrow airport, but that is all within the central bus station). <BR><BR>see www.gobycoach.com for timetables and prices

Once again my thanks to JC and also to Ruth in the U.K. Both of your suggestion will be taken into consideration, and are much appreciated. Thanks for taking the time to respond.<BR>Chuck

I wouldn't want to walk from Kings Cross Thameslink station to Kings Cross mainline with a lot of luggage - it's several hundred yards, either up and across some busy and not too savoury roads, or along and up stairs and escalators in corridors linking to the Tube station. If there is a direct bus from Gatwick to Cambridge, the comfort and convenience might be worth any addition in time.
