london-gatwick commute

I need to travel from Hammersmith London to Gatwick airport for work 5 days a week.

I have tired the train but a 7 day session ticket national rail with the underground is £68 plus a bus fair from Gatwick £2. Currently it costs me £70 a week! I need to reduce the costs.

any help or advice would be welcomed.

    If so, no need to use Underground.
    A weekly season ticket from there to Gatwick via Clapham Junc (not London terminals) is £57.00.

    Try the Season Ticket Calculator for different periods.
    N.B there is a fare rise in Jan, so might be wise to buy the longest term you can afford before they go up.
  • Hi

    Stelios runs a minicoach Gatwick Airport to Fulham Broadway from £4 rtn. on the net.

    20/30 mins frequency , Route EB4.

    see easybus.co.uk

    not the fastest way but could save some money if booked in advance.
