And it's by far the easiest bit. You get as many trains as possible to run with as many carriages as possible between Brighton & Lewes from 12.30 to 2.30 and from 16.30 to 18.30. There's ample turnaround capability at both ends, easy peasy.
trainspotters on here have pointed out there is limited signalling along the line, daft platform length at Lewes and regular service to fit in. they can turn trains around east of Lewes but presumably a bit of a ballache, so run 8 cars to Seaford and Eastbourne. need somewhere to park them either side the peak, and extra staff (driver and OBS). think they do this on occasions, when no one on strike, no signal problems, spare carriages without faults available, and get about 6 an hour through.
