tartegnin Posted March 14, 2006 #1 Share Posted March 14, 2006 For our July Westbound we can easily fly into just about any London airport - would Gatwick, Heathrow or City be closest for a direct transfer to Southampton? My geography is horrible, but something tells me Gatwick ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navaleye Posted March 14, 2006 #2 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Gatwick. Much closer and a direct train service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transat_jon Posted March 14, 2006 #3 Share Posted March 14, 2006 For our July Westbound we can easily fly into just about any London airport - would Gatwick, Heathrow or City be closest for a direct transfer to Southampton? My geography is horrible, but something tells me Gatwick ... Gatwick has direct train to Southampton, see http://www.nationalrail.co.uk and Heathrow has a direct coach service with www.nationalexpress.com to Southampton. Both connections take the same time, the coach is a little cheaper but there are a lot more trains. Gatwick is smaller so you will probably get out of it a bit quicker but I cannot gaurantee that. Avoid City, Luton and especially Stanstead if you are going to Southampton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tartegnin Posted March 15, 2006 Author #4 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Thanks, both. Gatwick it is. I think we'll get a car to pick us up, though - don't want to hassle with luggage on the trains ... and we'll end up even, anyway, since the Gatwick flights are cheaper!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
