Passengers flying to and from Gatwick can now stay better connected with the rollout of fast, free and reliable WiFi at the airport’s train station.

The new service will provide passengers with seamless connectivity as they move from the airport and the station concourse, with unlimited browsing when travelling.

The move is the latest in a series of improvements to enhance the station and its facilities for passengers, including 12 new customer information screens and new ticket gates with wider barriers to reduce congestion and improve passenger flow.

Katie Frost, Network Rail’s Sussex route director, said: “Over the past few years, the teams have been really busy improving station facilities at Gatwick Airport station.

“It’s great to see the wider programme of work coming together to upgrade the station, improve accessibility and create more space for passengers, making their journey from the train to the plane easier.

“The WiFi will help passengers keep better connected and allow them to have a more relaxing and comfortable journey when heading to their onward destinations.

“Looking ahead, the project team are gearing up to reopen platforms five and six early next year which have been closed since November 2020.”
