GTR helps passengers affected by Gatwick closure

Govia Thameslink Railway is offering thousands of passengers affected by the closure of Gatwick airport rail travel at no extra cost to help them complete their journey or make alternative travel arrangements.

Passengers with a rail ticket to or from Gatwick will be able to travel to or from Luton airport at no extra cost.

People who need to get to King’s Cross to travel to Edinburgh on LNER and who have an airline ticket can travel for free to King’s Cross/St Pancras, Stevenage or Peterborough on GTR services.

Those who can’t travel and need a refund will not be charged any administration fee and any advance tickets to Gatwick can be used any time today or tomorrow (Friday) on GTR services.

Steve White, chief operating officer of GTR, said: “Passengers are facing serious disruption due to the closure of the airport and we want to help them complete their journeys or make alternative Christmas travel arrangements.”
