Travelling on the Gatwick Express #GX0147 from London to Brighton was an all-round positive experience for me! As soon as I boarded the train, I was struck by the modern and well-kept interior. The generous seating, the pleasant feeling of space and the additional luggage racks made the journey particularly comfortable - ideal for travellers with a lot of luggage. The direct connection without changing trains is a real plus point and saves time and stress. The journey was quiet and relaxed, and the large windows offered beautiful views of the southern English countryside. I found the free wifi and the regular information about intermediate stops and arrival times particularly practical. Even on busy days, I had the feeling that the train was well organised and offered enough space for everyone. The cleanliness of the train and the functioning sanitary facilities rounded off the positive overall picture. Overall, the journey on the Gatwick Express #GX0147 was fast, comfortable and reliable - I would choose this service again at any time and can recommend it to anyone who wants to travel from London to Brighton in comfort and without complications!

The reservation for the train was very easy. The staff were very nice and chatty, and the train was very clean and the toilets were hygienic. However, there were a lot of people on the train and the train departed 10 minutes late. The journey took about an hour in total. As always, the free wifi was very good and the seats were very comfortable. The price-performance ratio was very good!

I travelled from London Bridge to Brighton on the Thameslink G50721 and it was a very pleasant journey. The train departed on time and also arrived at the destination on time. The staff on board were very friendly. The train was also well maintained and well equipped with power sockets so you can charge your mobile phone and there was a bistro on board with delicious food and drinks.

I travelled from London Bridge to Brighton on the Thameslink G50721. The train itself was very well maintained, but my mistake was that I didn't reserve a seat as there were only a few seats available near the toilet and unfortunately the toilet smelt very unpleasant. However, I was lucky that my train journey wasn't too long, but despite this, the staff on the train were very friendly and the journey time was kept on time.

IconAccording to
Travelling on the Southern Rail 1A34 train from London Victoria to Brighton was ok. The train was the direct type, so no further changes were necessary, which meant I could travel in comfort. The journey also took a pleasant 1 hour and 5 minutes. On a positive note, I was pleased with the reliability of the train's arrival time and the availability of free wifi, which worked to my complete satisfaction. In addition, the hygiene conditions on the train were very well met, which was to my benefit. Negative aspects that I noticed included the cramped conditions on the train, which meant that I was unable to find a seat on the day in question. In conclusion, I would say that it was very noisy in the carriage and many fellow travellers must have found this rather unpleasant. On balance, although the exclusive use of the direct train on my journey to the island was an advantage, the connection could have been more usable if there had been enough seats and a milder atmosphere.

The Southern train 2D17 was really comfortable and clean. I got a window seat and was able to enjoy the beautiful scenery as we rolled through the English countryside. The wifi on the train worked perfectly, so I was even able to get some work done during the journey. I also didn't have to change trains. The staff were friendly and helpful when I asked for the right platform. Unfortunately, the only downside was the delay. We arrived in Brighton about 20 minutes later than planned. That was a bit annoying as I had an appointment. Fortunately, I had planned some buffer time.
