Southern User Reviews
Customers have had positive experiences with the train operator, Southern. They appreciate the friendly staff, comfortable rides, and punctuality. However, some passengers found issues with rail replacement services being tiring and difficulties entering crowded platforms due to ticket scanning problems. Overall, Southern is recommended for stress-free travel experiences to Gatwick and Havant.
I had a wonderful time travelling Southern and would recommend to friends to use their service.

Colin L.
Because my flight was delayed, and the Gatwick airport shuttle got stuck, I missed my train by 5 minutes and had to purchase a brand new ticket. I feel that I should have been allowed to use that same ticket being that it was not my fault that I missed my train
