Very confusing!!! No definite bus at Gatwick!!! Wrong bus #204 at Gatwick, should be #203!!! Bus driver to South Hampton didn’t want to take us!!! Another bus driver #203 from South Hampton was Very Accomodating and convinced the driver to take us to South Hampton instead of us sitting at the Terminal for 2-3 hrs. A fabulous MAN! “Thankyou”*******

Customers have reported positive experiences with friendly staff, comfortable journeys, and punctuality. However, some mentioned that rail replacement services during train trips to Havant were tiring.

Southern Gatwick Southampton recent customer reviews

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
