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?

Option 1 is probably the easiest; it is a direct Underground ride from
Victoria to Euston for the equivalent of $3.00, but this does have the
disadvantage that you wouldn't actually *see* anything of London! A
taxi would cost significantly more and probably take a great deal
longer, but you would at least get to see a few sights en route! Do be
aware that the Underground doesn't run at night (after 01.00 am).


Option 3: ?? Is there a bus service to get from Gatwick to Liverpool?


Not a direct one, as far as I know, but you can book a through fa

There will be a wait, either at the London terminal or in Birmingham,
and the journey will take around 6 hours, so you might prefer your
Option 1.
