Default Gatwick Express/Gold Card/Gatwick ticket machines

Late on Saturday night, I had to get back from Gatwick Airport to
London. I bought my ticket from the machine in the station concourse
by credit card: it gave me the option of various travelcard discounts
(but not LT Gold Card, the one I have), so I chose Network Card as the
nearest equivalent and carried on.


Used Gatwick Express last week at 4am, and was pleasantly surprised to
find that it's fine to purchase your tickets onboard. (Of course, if I'd
known that before-hand, I wouldn't have anxiously queued at the Victoria
ticket-office behind five others and with only a few minutes before the
train's departure.)
