I see that Gatwick Airport will introduce a £5 drop off fee! This seems pretty bad considering it is also the only way in to the Railway station too.
There are some close by stopping places, but they’re bus stops or double yellow lines.
I recall reading that Manchester Airport also charges for drop off, is that also the way in to the Railway station too?

Gatwick to charge £5 drop-off fee for drivers
The Sussex hub has by far the best rail links of any UK airport

Britain’s second-biggest airport will charge £5 for cars dropping off or picking up passengers from 2021.
Gatwick says the fee will promote sustainable travel, and help the airport recover from the coronavirus pandemic. In the first six months of 2020, it lost £321m – equivalent to £1,225 per minute between January and June.
The chief commercial officer, Jonathan Pollard, said: “Gatwick has just gone through the most challenging period in its history and this new drop off charging scheme will give us a new revenue stream to aid recovery from the Covid-19 crisis.
