Megabus London Gatwick recent customer reviews

National Express buses take 2h to get Gatwick airport from London Victoria because they go to Gatwick via Heathrow, which I do not like. That's a reason to take a Megabus.

Arisa S.

The bus did not arrive on time; there were no announcements warning passengers the airport bus was nowhere near Victoria station; when an enquiry was raised, the staff knew nothing; finally, they advised that the bus was still out in Watford over an hour away. I had to get an Uber to Gatwick Airport, otherwise I would have missed my plane. Following the tracking Online, had I waited, the bus would not have got me to Gatwick, until after an hour following the departure of my flight.
