🌃🚆🛫 Great Western Railway (GWR) will trial overnight services to #Gatwick #Airport from 6 June, running for 12 weeks to test demand for early-morning and late-night connections between the Thames Valley and the airport. The trial includes two Reading–Gatwick trains on Saturday mornings, plus three return services, and one Reading–Gatwick and two return #trains on Mondays. Stops include Reading, Wokingham, Guildford, Dorking Deepdene, Reigate, Redhill and Gatwick. The move aims to improve sustainable airport access for passengers and staff, with performance and feedback guiding potential future service changes. https://news.gwr.com/news/gwr-trials-new-overnight-gatwick-services-this-summer

A Westminster Hall debate on #Transport in the South East took place on 3 February 2026, opened by Jess Brown-Fuller MP. Buses in the region are largely deregulated, though the Bus Services Act 2025 allows local authorities to franchise routes. The South East has an extensive rail network, served by operators including Avanti West Coast, Chiltern, GWR, CrossCountry, South Western, Southern, Thameslink and Southeastern, with major projects including East-West Rail and HS2. National Highways manages strategic roads, while local roads fall to county or unitary councils; the Lower Thames Crossing is a key project. #Heathrow and #Gatwick #airports may expand, and major ferry routes link the Isle of Wight and #France. https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/cdp-2026-0024/
