Gatwick Airport and 60+ London Oyster Photocard

[Alex K]

Now we can pay for travel to Gatwick using an Oystercard!

Good news, that. I have a 60+ Oystercard to which credit can't be added.

When inbound from Gatwick, should I simply pay for a ticket to East Croydon and travel onward by 60+ Photocard from there? Or is a more clever option available?

"Freedom Passes, 60+ London and Veterans Oyster photocards are not valid between Coulsdon South and Gatwick Airport."

So your suggestion sounds perfect!

Keep up to date - I posted this exciting news a week or so ago! But it has backfired as the service is so bad some Sundays due to bus replacements on the main line it would be quicker to walk.

Oh dear -- no offence intended; I learnt about this new availability through your posting! -- And again, oh dear -- Sundays no service? That's when I'm flying in... and rather late in the evening, to boot. -- This does not bode well.
