Gatwick Airport to London "bargain" train tickets

If you book through trainline.com, there are a load of options and it also sets out the restrictions on various ticket types.

If you have an oyster card or a Bank Card you can use in the UK without fees for Tapping on and off the price off peak is £9.50

It's working out at £53.35 for 2 adults and 2 kids(they're actually calculating it by using 1 child and 3 adults with Groupsave). Flight due in at 08.30 so if we can make the 09.06,it'll take 35 minutes. Later train are about 10 or 20 minutes longer.

u12 are free on the underground. U5 are free on the Thameslink service.

as noted by sgarvan no they are not.

The only way round it would be to get a child visitor oyster card,

or if you can use an address in the UK you can use them to get a proper child oyster card before hand, need probably a month to organise it.

My wife was lived in Marylebone last year and I constantly flew over to Heathrow.

Like this post I would advise people never to use the Heathrow express. I did quite often as I would get the very early morning flight.

The tube journey on the Elizabeth line was/is considerably cheaper (HE prices are seriously expensive).

All considered the tube service is only 10-15mins longer.

Nice one! 4 of us heading over in a couple of weeks, for the night, for the boxing, and traveling from LGW, and staying in Shoreditch. This offer will come in handy

Really informative thread. What would be the best value and fastest train from Windsor to London City?
