Greetings from across the pond...

Heading from Gatwick Airport to Liverpool in a few weeks. Not
renting a car. Followed by a week in London. What's the [ quickest
/ easiest / cheapest ] way of getting from Gatwick to Liverpool?



As I see it from my computer in the US:


Option 1: Gatwick Express Train to Victoria Stn ($20) to Euston Stn
(few bucks), train to Liverpool ($162RT), walk to hotel ($0).



Depending on time of travel from Gatwick there are trains to Watford
where you can change into a train direct to Liverpool which avoids the
underground.


Sorry, misread that, change again at Crewe.


http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/ may help some more. Re tickets, check
out the "Britpass" which has to be purchased before arrival in the
UK. I don't know the options on it or if it will be cost effective.
