GATWICK EXPRESS users, and indeed airlines and Gatwick Airport itself,
are once again demanding news from the Department for Transport
regarding the future of the very popular non-stop service to London”s
Victoria Station. A decision was expected in February but only a very
muddled statement produced. With airlines now in the process of
confirming their winter schedules 2006/2007 any decision to cut the
services could have serious planning consequences. Continental
Airlines and Delta have been vociferous in complaining that if the
Express be stopped it would be very bad news for one of the world”s
major international airports, pointing out that since they are banned
from Heathrow the least they expect is a similar rail service.
