    Depart:10:49 Gatwick Airport (GTW) Arrive:12:24 Fareham (FRM

    or

    Depart:11:49 Gatwick Airport (GTW) Arrive:13:24 Fareham (FRM)


    Return fare would be 25.00 quid.

  • One more - can I book online? Have been clicking on the links, and don't seem to be coming up with an option to actually book....

    I was using National Rail Enq's??

    They don't sell tickets and will direct you to www.thetrainline.com to purchase.

    Think they charge a couple quid on top.

    You can buy from the Southern site BUT only 7 days prior to travel

    His ETA is 10.15am 25th sept....

    Well it must just be me but what time did he get up to fly back? I love it when someone I know welcomes me home even if I have been on a fab holiday.
