Gatwick link to close

MONORAIL LINK between the South and North Terminals is to close for a major upgrade in September.  Completion of a state of the art system should be by the end of July 2010.  The trains, which date back to 1988, have completed more that two million miles in their 20-year history.  Journey time is just two minutes.  A bus service will offer a replacement and travellers should allow for more transit time between the railway station area and North Terminal.  The cost of the refurbishment programme is put at £37m.  The airside shuttle link in the South Terminal is not affected. www.gatwickairport.com
