How close is Victoria rail station to Victoria coach station?

Megabus is getting a try from me in a few weeks time on my travel to gatwick, ^20 return compared to ^122 by train, just need to get from Victoria coach station to gatwick.

I assume the train is the only realistic choice?

I think National Express runs from the Coach station direct to Gatwick...save you the walk in you have the additional travel time to spare

Google gave me http://www.nationalexpress.com/coach/PDF/A3%20TIMETABLE%2012pp%20web%20.pdf

Showing 2 buses an hour, journey time roughly 90 minutes.   Beware - may be a bit out of date but I can't imagine huge changes; replacing the year with "2015" or "2014" in the URL gave me a broken page though.

Thanks. The train is ^1 cheaper each way (the ticket that's apparently not valid on gatex) and an hour quicker each way. At the times I need it there is a train at least every 10 mins.
