Gatwick CBS is located between Terminals T1, T2 and T3. There is an underground walkway that connects the Gatwick CBS to the three terminals. The buses also stop at Terminals T4 and T5. Alternatively, you can get a free ride on the Gatwick Express and Gatwick Connect to Gatwick Central, to take the buses there.

Passengers are allowed to carry on board 2 medium-sized suitcases weighing a maximum of 20kg each, and one piece of hand luggage that can fit into the overhead compartment. To book a ticket for the bus, go to the National Express website, www.nationalexpress.com.
