Gatwick Express, the non-stop rail-air link between central London and Gatwick Airport, has seen a 17 per cent increase in passengers in the past year.
The service continues to attract air passengers away from road and other rail services.
Says Alex Foulds, Development Director for Southern Railway which now runs the Gatwick Express, ‘Considering the context of a 6.9 per cent rise in airport passengers at Gatwick, these figures reveal the robust health of the Gatwick Express brand. We are seeing a rise in both leisure and business travellers from the UK and overseas.’
