It is the brand name used by the <a href="/wiki/Govia_Thameslink_Railway" title="Govia Thameslink Railway">Govia Thameslink Railway</a> train operating company on the Gatwick Express route of the <a href="/wiki/Thameslink,_Southern_and_Great_Northern_franchise" title="Thameslink, Southern and Great Northern franchise">Thameslink, Southern and Great Northern franchise</a>. </p><p>Trains have regularly served Gatwick Airport since the opening of its rebuilt <a href="/wiki/Gatwick_Airport_railway_station" title="Gatwick Airport railway station">railway station</a> in May 1958. Prior to the 1980s, these services were relatively slow and without any particular priority; this led to the <i>Gatwick Liaison Group</i> advocating for a non-stop service to London during the late 1970s and early 1980s. Accordingly, during May 1984, the Gatwick Express service was launched using air-conditioned <a href="/wiki/InterCity_(British_Rail)" title="InterCity (British Rail)">InterCity</a> carriages. <a href="/wiki/British_Rail" title="British Rail">British Rail</a> operated Gatwick Express through to its <a href="/wiki/Privatisation_of_British_Rail" title="Privatisation of British Rail">privatisation</a> in April 1996, after which <a href="/wiki/National_Express" class="mw-redirect" title="National Express">National Express</a> took over operations under a <a href="/wiki/Passenger_rail_franchising_in_Great_Britain" title="Passenger rail franchising in Great Britain">franchising</a> arrangement. One of the franchise commitments made by National Express was the replacement of the inherited <a href="/wiki/Rolling_stock" title="Rolling stock">rolling stock</a> with new-build trains for Gatwick Express; this led to the introduction of the <a href="/wiki/British_Rail_Class_460" title="British Rail Class 460">Class 460 <i>Junipers</i></a> during the late 1990s and early 2000s. </p><p>In June 2008, Gatwick Express ceased to exist as a separate franchise; it was merged into the <a href="/wiki/Southern_(Govia_Thameslink_Railway)" title="Southern (Govia Thameslink Railway)">Southern</a> train operating company, although it continues to be maintained as a separate identity. Additional rolling stock in the form of the <a href="/wiki/British_Rail_Class_442" title="British Rail Class 442">442 (5WES) <i>Wessex Electrics</i></a> were introduced. However, figures such as the Chairman of Gatwick Airport, <a href="/wiki/Roy_McNulty" title="Roy McNulty">Roy McNulty</a>, publicly criticised Gatwick Express, claiming its services to be overcrowded and the rolling stock outdated. In July 2015, Southern including the Gatwick Express service was merged into Govia Thameslink Railway. Since January 2016, both <a href="/wiki/Oyster_card" title="Oyster card">Oyster cards</a> and <a href="/wiki/Contactless_payment" title="Contactless payment">contactless payment</a> cards have been accepted for travel between London Victoria and Gatwick Airport. The introduction of <a href="/wiki/British_Rail_Class_387" title="British Rail Class 387">Class 387/2s</a> during the 2010s was objected to by the <a href="/wiki/Associated_Society_of_Locomotive_Engineers_and_Firemen" class="mw-redirect" title="Associated Society of Locomotive Engineers and Firemen">Associated Society of Locomotive Engineers and Firemen</a> (ASLEF) <a href="/wiki/Trade_union" title="Trade union">trade union</a>, but the dispute was later resolved. </p><p>All Gatwick Express services were suspended on 30 March 2020 as a result of the <a href="/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic" title="COVID-19 pandemic">COVID-19 pandemic</a>.

On 27 May 1958, the rebuilt station, <i>Gatwick Airport</i>, opened with a regular train service.<sup id="cite_ref-airport_hist_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-airport_hist-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Initially, the rail service was provided entirely by standard London to <a href="/wiki/Brighton_railway_station" title="Brighton railway station">Brighton</a> stopping services; however, more trains began to call with the introduction of the summer timetable in June 1958. One of the key elements of this expanded service was the extension of <a href="/wiki/Three_Bridges_railway_station" title="Three Bridges railway station">Three Bridges</a> to <a href="/wiki/Bognor_Regis_railway_station" title="Bognor Regis railway station">Bognor Regis</a> stopping services to start and terminate at <a href="/wiki/London_Victoria_railway_station" class="mw-redirect" title="London Victoria railway station">London Victoria</a>. These trains would run through a reversible platform at Gatwick where a portion would detach and wait in the platform for passengers until the next up train from Bognor Regis was attached and the train would depart for Victoria. For this service <a href="/wiki/British_Rail" title="British Rail">British Rail</a> used a small batch of seven <a href="/wiki/British_Rail_Class_402" title="British Rail Class 402">Class 402 2HALs</a> in order to work with the trains used on the Bognor Regis services, suitable for airport link use because of their larger luggage space.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources. (April 2024)">citation needed</span></a></i>]</sup> </p><p>This situation lasted until the early 1970s when increased passenger and luggage travel to the station was rendering the old system obsolete. British Rail therefore decided to adapt a number of <a href="/wiki/British_Rail_Class_423" title="British Rail Class 423">Class 423 4VEPs</a> with increased luggage capacity (at the expense of fewer second class seats) and were redesignated as <a href="/wiki/British_Rail_Class_423#4Veg_units" title="British Rail Class 423">Class 427 4VEGs</a>. The service however remained much the same, with the units attaching and detaching from Bognor Regis bound services running via <a href="/wiki/Redhill_railway_station" title="Redhill railway station">Redhill</a>. This led to somewhat extended journey times which meant the service lacked any real purpose, as the faster services began calling at Gatwick Airport from the early 1970s, and made the option of travelling to Gatwick from London on the service lack appeal to those who knew better. At first the service from Bognor Regis, which by this stage only stopped at <a href="/wiki/East_Croydon_station" title="East Croydon station">East Croydon</a>, was branded <i>Rapid City Link</i>.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.
