Great Western Railway

Train Operating Company: Great Western Railway

Great Western operate services hauled by three carriage Class 166 diesel multiple units. They  run a two train per hour shuttle service between Reading and Gatwick Airport, via Guildford, Dorking, Reigate and Redhill. These trains have 276 seats and larger luggage bays specifically for the Gatwick service. This is a popular route as it negates the need to travel via central London. Longer journey time balanced out by cheaper tickets if you are not in a hurry.
