Gatwick airport station’s new arrivals area has opened – with a promise to transform journeys.
The £250m project, which forms part of Gatwick’s South Terminal, welcomed its first train at 5.46am on Tuesday. Passengers on the Thameslink service from Bedford via central London were able to use new high-capacity lifts and escalators to reach a newly created arrivals space – which has been built above seven platforms on one of the busiest railways in the country.
