If you were going from Leeds to London to Gatwick Airport via GNER,
Tubes, and Gatwick Express or Connect, and your international flight
out was at 12 noon, what time would a person need to depart Leeds?


According to http://nationalrail.co.uk/, if you leave Leeds at 0640
then you'll get to Gatwick at 1000. Take the 0530 from Leeds if you
want more leeway. (This is for weekdays)


That is a very tight underground journey, allowing 41 minutes to get
to the train at Victoria. The 0605 from Leeds, followed by the 0804
from Kings Cross Thameslink, arriving Gatwick 0955, has 30 minutes
transfer time at Kings Cross, and appreciably less walking.
