Turns out they're ripping up the train line to get to Gatwick between christmas and into new year.

Ok, that's with VS, from Gatwick. And I'd be coming from Heathrow. And I'm going to Vegas this christmas. just AA via Heathrow/Philly.

Well the National Express coach is still operating twixt LHR and LGW

I love how some of the papers (including the local rag here in Brighton) are going on like this is the end of the world and a secret they have only just found out when the details have been on the national rail enquiries website for weeks!
