How to get from London Gatwick to Cambridge on public transport?

Since the earlier Answers were posted, direct trains between Gatwick and Cambridge (no changes, no going into London Underground) are now available. A quick look at the National Rail look-up site shows a dozen or more trains each day.

The website I prefer for UK train timetables is traintimes.org.uk. One of it’s handy features is being able to look up the last train of the day, for example the last train on a Tuesday from Gatwick to Cambridge.

As Roflcoptr pointed out, the last weekday train at the moment is the 22:35, which gets you into Cambridge at 01:22 (via a cross London transfer to Kings Cross). You might just be able to get away with the 22:50 from Gatwick, if you haven’t got too much luggage. The 22:50 gets into London Victoria at 23:20, which gives you 40 minutes to get down to the tube, wait for a tube, travel 5 stops, and get up to the station. Fine if there are no problems and you’re not too bad for luggage, but can’t be guaranteed…

Otherwise, it’s a National Express coach to London, then change onto a different National Express coach to Cambridge. The website for looking up times and prices is this one. Doesn’t look good though, leaving Gatwick at 23:40 today won’t get you to Cambridge until about 5am…

Probably it depends if you arrive on a working day or on the weekend. But the site to check such stuff is http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/.

It seems that you’re a lucky and you can still make it to the train leaving at 22:35 from Gatwick Airport. Then it takes only 2:35 to travel to Cambridge.

Also the fare (28 pounds) seems reasonable for me, but I’m not very informed in British railway prices.
