I live in Cheltenham, I am going to Gatwick Airport on July 3rd for a 2 week holiday. Various return options:
Coach to Oxford and catch a lift: 5hrs 5m to Oxford (via Bristol) and then... forget it
The train via Reading: 3hrs 20m £148!!
A taxi: £120 each way 2hrs 30m
Hire cars: £110 2hrs 30m + hassle picking up/dropping off
Airport parking: £125 2hrs 30m + getting from car park to airport
Coach: £35 4hrs 30m
My car and park somewhere away from Gatwick and get a train in: £47 2hrs 30m
Guess which one I will be doing!!! What a joke, the train was ridiculous, wouldn't mind if it only took 5 minutes and you paid for the priviledge, I think you could cycle in less time (it's about 120 miles). The coach is not too bad but takes a long time (you have to go all the way off the M25 into Heathrow and wait 35 minutes to then come all the way back out, this must add at least 50 minutes to the journey time but fair enough).
