Rail minister Chris Heaton-Harris was today (8 December) due to break ground on the next stage of works to construct a second concourse above existing platforms.
Work is already underway to widen platforms and improve access to the terminal. When complete, the station will also have more escalators, lifts and stairs.
Heaton-Harris said: “Gatwick is one of the UK’s busiest airports, and as we look towards a post-recovery future for aviation and rail, we need a station capable of meeting the growing demands of rail users, commuters and airport passengers from across the world.
