Gatwick Express is the name of a high-frequency passenger service between London Victoria and Gatwick Airport in South East England, operated by Southern.
The Gatwick Express service commenced in May 1984 with air-conditioned InterCity stock. It was privatised in April 1996 with National Express operating the franchise. In June 2008 Gatwick Express ceased to exist as a separate franchise, being merged into the Southern franchise, although continuing to maintain its own identity. Some peak-hour Gatwick Express services now continue beyond Gatwick Airport to Brighton.

Famous quotes containing the word express:
“The heart-throb for the welfare of humanity therefore passes into the ravings of an insane self-conceit, into the fury of consciousness to preserve itself from destruction; and it does this by expelling from itself the perversion which it is itself, and by striving to look on it and express it as something else.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
