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:
“Because they did not see merit where they should have seen it, people, to express their regret, will go and leave a lot of money to the very people who will be the first to throw stones at the next person who has anything to say and finds a difficulty in getting a hearing.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
