North Downs Line Closure (14 – 27 September):
The GWR Guildford to Reigate line will be closed for two weeks due to major signalling upgrades. Rail replacement buses will be in operation between Guildford, Gatwick Airport and Redhill during this period.
Southern, Thameslink and Gatwick Express services will continue to run as normal during this period.
We recommend passengers allow extra time for their journeys and visit Network Rail – North Downs Upgrade for more information.
On days with disrupted rail services, you may find that alternative methods of transport to London Gatwick will be busier than usual and so it is always best to plan well ahead:
By bus and coach
Metrobus offer local bus services around the London Gatwick area, serving towns including Crawley, Horley, Redhill, Reigate and Horsham. Single fares are capped at £3. You can buy tickets on board, online or on the Metrobus app. If you’re travelling to London, you can catch a bus to Redhill (Fastway 100, 400, 420 or 460), where you can transfer to the Transport for London 405 bus to Croydon. You can then connect to the London bus network, trains or the tram to Wimbledon and the District Line.
The Airline, Flixbus and National Express offer coach services from both terminals to towns and cities around across England and Wales, including London, Oxford and Brighton. Most services also call at Heathrow Central Bus Station and Terminal 5, where you can transfer to the Piccadilly Line or Elizabeth Line into central London.
We highly recommend booking coach tickets in advance of days with disruption as services are likely to sell out quickly.
