A new look Gatwick Airport station is set to open to passengers on Tuesday 21 November, transforming the journey from train to plane and giving passengers travelling between Brighton and London easier, faster, more reliable journeys.



A bigger, better and brighter station with a new second concourse and airport entrance will double the space for the millions of passengers that use the station each year. Eight new escalators and five new lifts will provide a step change for accessibility. The new lifts and escalators, along with four new stairways and widened platforms, will help passengers move between the train station and the airport more quickly and easily. Here Roger Perkins from Govia Thameslink Railway explains how it will improve the passenger experience
