Thameslink to Gatwick Airport - luggage space

Post by alicat »

In a week I will be travelling to Gatwick airport via Euston with a full-sized touring bike in a bag plus a cabin bag. Am I right in assuming there is very little luggage space on the Thameslink line from St Pancras to Brighton that stops at Gatwick?

Plan B is to get a taxi from Euston to Victoria. I wanted to avoid crossing London in rush hour but now I'm thinking I may be better off doing that than annoying lots of commuters on the Thameslink train.

Thanks for any suggestions.

The luggage racks last I saw were the vertical stack type shown in https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:31 ... ternal.JPG

I'm not sure if any of the electro stars serve Gatwick but I think they have less luggage space.
