Services
The main service operates every 15 minutes taking 30 minutes to cover the 27 mile journey from London Victoria to Gatwick.
In April 2007 the Department for Transport announced that the Gatwick Express franchise was to be incorporated into the South Central franchise. This was part of a plan by the Department for Transport to increase capacity on the Brighton Main Line that saw peak hour services extended from Gatwick to Brighton and Eastbourne from December 2008. This doubled the number of London to Brighton express trains during those periods.

So I do rather feel, by and large,

For services rendered,
But I can’t quite decide what to charge.”
