Gatwick Express/Gold Card/Gatwick ticket machines

GEX itself is owned by BAA, is it not? National Express was the original franchisee for the period 1996-2011. Has it changed hands - I don't think so. If so, I stand corrected. I may be confusing it with HEX? -- James Farrar | London, SE23 | |

Stansted Express (which I shall not similarly abbreviate!) is run by WAGN. However, they are all linked in a marketing alliance called the 'Airport Express Alliance' |
