    Depends what time you are travelling - believe Freedom pass is not valid on National Rail before 0900.

    After 0900 buy a single East Croydon to Gatwick then travel on First Capital Connect (from London Bridge or St Pancras - Blackfriars tube is closed) or Southern (from Victoria - NOT Gatwick Express!) to Gatwick. Freedom pass is valid as far as East Croydon so Robert is your mother's brother!!!
