Actually Gatwick Express is 30 minutes into Victoria, if you want to pay the premium fare. You can get to Waterloo and other locations via Gatwick too. Three Bridges station is probably equi-distant to Austec but with less choice of routes to and from there. (btw I live locally and am not a rail anorak )

Ring National Rail Enquiries and ask for some help. If you don't get a helpful operator, ring again.

Gatwick Express will cost you a small fortune, a good operator will have a squirrel around for the best deal for you.

Less hassle than the phone IMO.

Thanks guys. The 8.33 from Three Bridges to London Bridge looks just the ticket.
