"This outcome to the campaign to save Gatwick Express is welcome".

"Whilst it does not conform to our preferred option of the last consultation, it does preserve the basic shape of the service, which is four non-stop trains an hour between London Victoria and Gatwick. Any other result would have been a huge loss for Gatwick, its airline customers, and all those who use the service every year."
