Yes. -- Colin Rosenstiel I fully agree that the coach service may not be an attractive option for everyone, but let's try to put a level playing field in place before we dismiss the idea. If even a 2247 train is ambitious, there is a later NatEx coach departure at 2325 from Gatwick (service 727) - which again provides a through service to Cambridge. As Neil Williams highlights, the rail fare quoted by Colin Rosenstiel is discounted using a Young Persons rail card, yet he suggests that a walk on coach fare will be "expensive", ignoring the availability of an annual Young Persons coach card for £10 (by contrast a YP rail card currently costs £28 for a year). If cost is not an issue, then in terms of convenience it seems that the (rail) journey described could involve the following journey legs:- Gatwick to Victoria (train) Victoria to Kings Cross (tube) Kings Cross to Hitchin (train) Hitchin to Cambridge (rail replacement bus) Presumably carrying the (checked) luggage, referred to by another poster, up and down two sets of underground escalators and from a train to a bus at Hitchin is not an inconvenience? I don't have a problem if the train is considered to be a better choice, but let's just consider the evidence first before dismissing other options. JL |
