№ 03 — The route home
Gatwick → Cranfield, in plain terms.
89 mi via M1 → M25 → M40 → M4 → M23 → A23. Around 1h 38m in light traffic. At peak times allow an extra 28 min (mornings typically ~126 min, evenings ~108 min) — your driver builds this into the agreed pickup so you still arrive on time.
Gatwick → MK is the longest run in this catchment — M23 north, then a long M25 anticlockwise stretch (this is where delays happen), then M1 north. About 1h 50m in light traffic, 2h 30m in school-holiday Friday peak. The M25 between Junctions 6 and 16 is the bottleneck. Gatwick's £10 drop-off / pickup charge is included; both North and South Terminals are the same fare.
№ 04 — Drop-off in Cranfield
Where we drop in Cranfield.
Cranfield drop-offs cover the village, Cranfield University and Cranfield Airport (the university's research airfield, not commercial). University staff and conference visitors are a regular fixture.
