From: Totteridge & Whetstone
To: Gatwick Airport Rail Station
Arrive: 17th October 08:30

Gives:
06:55 Northern Line - Euston 07:23
07:29 Victoria Line - Victoria 07:37

I assume thats the first tube, as times earlier show busses to Victoria.

Thameslink from Mill Hill? This requires a walk down the street at
Kings X, owing to the new Thameslink station there being under
construction.

ITYM 251 to Mill Hill Broadway, then Thameslink.

There's also the 82 bus from Tally Ho to Victoria, which could be quite
fast in the early morning.

Beware engineering work: The National Rail journey planner is still
offerring trains from Kings Cross Thameslink to Gatwick but the National
Rail "Planned Engineering Works" page and the Thameslink leaflet both
promise engineering work between Blackfriars and London Bridge with Gatwick
trains starting from there.

You could always go by taxi all the way. The normal meter rate would not
be cheap, but I may be able to help. I live in Worthing and usually go
home about the time you want to get to Gatwick. Send me an e-mail
(preferably with your phone no, or I'll send mine by return e-mail) and
we may be able to come to a suitable arrangement. What's more you'll be
going in a fully licensed and insured London taxi !!

I know everyone suggests these routings but seeing as it is Sunday to
possibly leave slightly earlier than those that is suggested.

Not sure about engineering works I would have suggested Thameslink from
somewhere but the blockade and obviously carrying luggage is against you.

So, Northern Line Totteridge to London Bridge, then Thameslink,
provided their trains run early enough (timetable seems not to be
avilable yet).

They are available on their website, see
http://www.thameslink.co.uk/plan_you...metables.shtml for
downloadable PDF files. I also have a paper one, picked up at Blackfriars.

Problem is not Thameslink but the Northern line. First train is 06.55 from
Totteridge, a Charing Cross service eta Camden Town 07.19. Second is 07.10
arr 07.32. Trains leave Camden Town at 07.19, 07.26 and 07.32 arrive
London Bridge 07.35, 07.42 and 07.48. The first is a Hampstead service
(there is bus replacement on the Edgware branch, doubtless intended to be a
connection with the first High Barnet but which may or may not be in
practice), the second starts at Mill Hill East. the third High Barnet. The
train you need to catch to get to Gatwick would normally leave London
Bridge at 07.41, arrive Gatwick 08.20, but www.nationalrail.co.uk has this
retimed to 07.40 (and every half hour). Even if Thameslink were running
through from Kings Cross it wouldn't help as it leaves Kings Cross at
07.24, taking 17 minutes to London Bridge (the northern line takes just
11).

I'm afraid there is also engineering work on the Southern which is why the
journey planners are not listing the 07.45 from Victoria (the Gatwick
Express is reduced to a half-hourly service at xx.00 and xx.30) and has
been retimed to take 39 minutes instead of 35.

You really wanted to know that, didn't you!
