is it worth pointing out now that the trains will probably be fucked tomorrow as well (southern is involved) so it may be an idea to set off in plenty of time...

More good news, the trains are all fucked and we have to wait 20 minutes. Then another 15. then another 10.

Having just got back from Tokyo you may not know this.
eta Puddy_Tat already told you

She can live as large as she likes as long as she can handle it and doesn't fuck it up. Man ive been wasted at airports but I am always there on time and always got the plane (nearly didn't get on one though because they thought I had had one too many, I promised to just go to sleep).

She did get the gatwick express. The stupidest airport express ever. The only difference is it doesn't stop at east Croydon. Saves you 2 minutes and costs you more than £20 more. Less frequent than the regular service too.

It doesn't stop at Clapham junction either and it cuts ten minutes off the journey all in.I use that route 3 times a week and have never paid any extra.There is currently industrial action on that service hence the frequency issues.When all is well it pisses all other Southern and Thameslink services going through Gatwick.

And it seems you have windows you can lean out. I can't remember the the last time I travelled on a train with no more than a window vent to pull open.

The windows are normally locked down but the lock was apparently broken.Still a dangerous thing to do.

Well I'll be blowed. I just checked because I didn't believe it but the southern service tickets are now more expensive than the gatwick express. £15 quid to GEXs £13. Only seems cheaper to me because its £3 to victoria on oyster and £4.50 to gatwick from croydon. As for it being faster, according to the timetable it's worse than my suggestion of two minutes faster with trains running at the same 30minutes or three minutes slower. Maybe I was thinking of the heathrow express being £30 each way. That's kind of worth it though.

 

[Greebo]

no offence, sounds like shes got a bit of growing up to do.

Word.

That made me stressed and angry just reading it. You are obviously a far better person than me as I'd have told her to do one when she rang from the Elephant.

if she is flying Easyjet at Gatwick she is in trouble

if you turn up with less than 30 minutes till departure at the check in desk, they won't check you in. new policy this summer.

Easyjet don't have check-in desks do they? They're online check-in only since as far back as I can remember.

Edit: If you mean for luggage the 30 minutes is an improvement, it used to be 40 strict.
