London – Gatwick is one of the few journeys on the UK National Rail network for which passengers are required to choose between different operators when buying tickets.
On all other flows shared by different National Rail operators, tickets for immediate travel are inter-available, although some restrictions may apply on cheaper tickets.
The non-stop rail-air link between London Victoria and Gatwick Airport in south-east England is operated by the Southern franchise.
