Hi Group,

I have to meet Mrs Fig at Gatwick (North) this evening.
This is not a common journey for me so, seeing as I've got a bit of time,
I thought I'd try and figure out my cheapest option. Wish I'd never
started!

The details:

From: Ruislip Gardens
To: Gatwick (North)
Flight arrives: 8pm
I need 1 return journey and 1 single.
We both have HMF railcards.
Neither of us have any season tickets but do have railcards loaded on to
Oyster for discounted caps.
I can buy an off-peak z1-6 day travelcard for £5 (if the ticket office is
open!)

What would be the cheapest option?

NR website is saying £11.20 for rtn from London Bridge, £14.50 for return
from Victoria and £19.00 for return Gatwick Exp.
I've got no idea about boundary zone 6 to Gatwick prices, but coupled with
a £5 travelcard that must be an option?
Bare in mind that on the return journey we'll probably just want to get on
the first London bound train and not want to hang around for a London
Bridge train (I'm not sure what the frequencies are.) Why are Victoria and
London Bridge tickets priced differently? Isn't there a London Terminals
to Gatwick fare?

How does one get from the station to North Terminal?

Any advice gratefully received!
