Easybus launches £2 Gatwick service

1 Oct 2008 by Mark Caswell
Easybus has launched a new service between Fulham Broadway and Gatwick airport, and is celebrating with £2 one-way fares until December 15. The airport bus-transfer operator, which already serves Stansted and Luton airports from central London, will ply the route between Gatwick’s North Terminal and Fulham Broadway underground station (on the District Line) every twenty minutes. Easybus says its £2 promotional one-way fare is 89 per cent cheaper than the Gatwick Express service, but readers should note the journey takes considerably longer. On weekdays the first 19-seater minibus leaves Gatwick at 0630, arriving at Fulham Braodway 85 minutes later at 0730. The last service of the day departs Gatwick at 2300, arriving at 0025. In the opposite direction the first service leaves Fulham at 0600, arriving into Gatwick at 0705, with the last bus departing at 2200, arrving at 2305. Timings differ slightly at weekends. This compares with a 30-minute journey between Gatwick’s South Terminal and London Victoria on the Gatwick Express, costing £16.90 one-way (the first service leaving London Victoria at 0500, and from Gatwick at 0550). Easybus’ promotional fare is valid until December 15, for tickets booked online at easybus.co.uk at least 24 hours in advance.
