Charged in euros: €127 for the sedan, €167 for the minibus. Converted at the European Central Bank's reference rate of 15 September 2026 only to compare it with the local fares; your card's rate will differ a little.
The ways are still here. Either none of them can still be made from the hour you leave arrivals (the Train to Brighton runs 04:58–01:58), or your budget or journey-time filter is drawn tighter than any of them. Set the hour back to Any time or widen a filter, or reset the filters, to bring them back.
Southern, Thameslink and some Gatwick Express trains run here in 26 to 38 minutes, about four an hour. The £13.70 Anytime Day Single boards any of them; £11.50 is valid on Thameslink only. Contactless does not work south of the airport.
