There is also a direct bus between Gatwick and Luton operated by National Express. Unlike the train alternative this option operates direct door to door between passenger terminals at Both Gatwick and Luton. This however is both slower and more expensive (for single journeys) than the train. The bus is also at the mercy of traffic conditions on London's orbital motorway.
