an alternative would have been to use National Express coach service 797,
leaving Gatwick at 2145.

30 minutes from gate to coach seems a trifle optimistic. If she's got
any checked bags, completely impossible.

Exactly. She's not entirely confident of getting even the 22:47 train, based
on past experience (she's a far more experienced intercontinental traveller
than I am).

And pay on the spot coach tickets are expensive, especially if she already
has a return train ticket that costs her less than coach single.
