Fulham expansion for easyBus
EASYBUS is expanding its network this month with the introduction of a minibus service between Gatwick Airport and Fulham Broadway, where it connects with the London underground. Services will operate every half-hour for 19 hours a day, with the journey taking just over one hour.
This is the fourth easyBus airport service, joining an existing Gatwick to Central London route, a service from Stansted to Central London, and a route operated jointly with Green Line from Luton to London which uses full-size coaches.
