Taking the train from Fratton in Portsmouth to Gatwick Airport?

Question

I need to take the train from Fratton to Gatwick, as Iam moving back to america.

Sooooooo... as I have never been on a train before on my own, I need to know how much it will cost, and how long it will take to get there, as I have a plane to catch.

Thanks !

Answer 1

Do you have a lot of luggage?  I live near Portsmouth, and do the airport runs for petrol money, and a little more...

when are you going to Gatwick?

Answer 2

Fratton to Portsmouth during the day and saturdays direct service via Barnham, Horsham.  Will arrive on either Platforms 1 or 2 at Gatwick Airport, straight up the stairs into South Terminal, if you want North, take the London End escalator to the Main Station (Thats in the direction you came in) onto the station concourse tun right and you will see the monorail entrance on the right.

Time, approx allow 2.5 hours for your journey to Gatwick (depending on day and which train you catch).  As for time of departure, you will need to check online, or with the station as times vary depending on what time of day you want to travel, the smae as cost (peak or off peak)

Good Luck
