Hey all, not sure where else to post this but will be working in Gatwick soon and was wondering what's the best/cost effective way to commute. Southern Rail season ticket is looking VERY expensive, so any advice would help. Won't be able to drive, so public transport only. Thanks in advance! |

Croydon to Gatwick on the train is very easy from East Croydon station 30 mins and your there!
But as some who lived in Croydon I would suggest not to move there, if your working in Gatwick suggest move close to there Crawley is main town next to it, commute be quicker and cheaper and rent be cheaper. So unless you want to be closer to London look closer to Gatwick and south for better cost and better places!!
Aside to that, when you do land here, we should hook up  |

I totally agree with the above - I like living im Croydon but it will be more expensive for you.
If going out in London in the evening is important to you, I would recommend Three Bridges, its close to Gatwick like Crawley BUT the Thameslink trasins that run 24hrs all stop there regardless of final destination, so you can quickly, easily and fairly cheaply get home after a night out clubbing/whatever  They run about every 30 mins
Good luck with your move, hope it all goes well, I made the move from Svotlan to London about 26 years ago and still enjoying it here, |

Yeah, they dont seem to stop at London Bridge but you can get them from Blackfriars and St Pancras - I have used both - I got the Thameslink from Blackfriars at some time between 3 and 4 on the 15th feb (Only to East Croydon)
Google should be bale to get you to the thameslink timetables.
Three Bridges also puts you closer to Brighton |
