RAIL services run by Southern, Thameslink, and Gatwick Express between London and Gatwick Airport will be disrupted by ‘major improvement’ works from 10pm on December 24 to 04am on January 4, the airport has warned.
During this period there will be no trains between South Croydon and Redhill. The Gatwick Express will be suspended, but travel by train from London Victoria to Gatwick will be possible via Horsham, but this will take approximately 90 minutes, rather than the usual 30. Alternatively, passengers can travel by train to East Grinstead where replacement bus services will be operating. The journey will take approximately 90 minutes via East Grinstead.

Go Holiday editor David Kernek comments: No surprise there, then; if it’s a holiday period with thousands of people going to or coming from an airport, that’s exactly the right time to schedule ‘major improvement’ works.
