How to get from London Gatwick to Cambridge on public transport?
I'm arriving on London Gatwick airport around 10 pm on a weekday, and would like to make it to central Cambridge the same night. How would I go about it? Apparently there are no direct buses or trains, so I'd have to change somewhere in London.
So, priority one is getting to Cambridge on the same day as conveniently as possible, but if there are several options with significant difference in price, cheapness would be a plus of course.
Best Answer
Since the earlier Answers were posted, direct trains between Gatwick and Cambridge (no changes, no going into London Underground) are now available. A quick look at the National Rail look-up site shows a dozen or more trains each day.

Answer 2
Probably it depends if you arrive on a working day or on the weekend. But the site to check such stuff is http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/.
It seems that you're a lucky and you can still make it to the train leaving at 22:35 from Gatwick Airport. Then it takes only 2:35 to travel to Cambridge.
Also the fare (28 pounds) seems reasonable for me, but I'm not very informed in British railway prices.
