Passengers on the Gatwick Express train service will be treated to free Guinness on 15 March to mark St Patrick’s Day.

Customers on the platform at Gatwick airport station and Victoria station will be offered a free drink between 11:00 and 16:00 GMT.

Gatwick Express runs 160 services a day between London and Gatwick, carrying some 14,000 travellers.

Gareth Jones, the operator’s head of customer service, said: ‘St Patrick’s Day is an internationally-recognised festival and Gatwick Express carries both UK and international clientele, therefore we wanted to add a little fun and festivity for our passengers as they board the train.’

Flights are available from Gatwick to Belfast, Cork, Dublin and Ireland West Knock.
