Just booked the EDF site for the first time. Anyone who has used this before, what's it like getting out afterwards by car? I normally park at the bridge, but can take a long time to get out (especially through the narrow tunnel).
Easy , drive straight out

Thanks for the heads up,
Might take up to 30 seconds to get out if the queue is bad.

Piece of piss, you'll be on Portland Road within a minute. Lovely short queue at the Amex as well.
Good chance of being home in time for Gladiators.

Really quick - no queues as capacity not that high

EDF has been (Or so it has seemed to me) getting busier with walk up bus users, but still waaaaay better than the other park and rides and £15 cheaper that the bridge car park. I'd argue that even with the queuing, the bus to get to EDF and the time it takes to get out of the car park is the same or possibly even less than the bridge car park. Although the queuing system at the bridge seems to have improved it's still a bun fight getting out of that place on a busy match day.

It's taking 30-40 mins off my journey home, compared to mill road or bridge if you don't get out quick enough

I can't see Pyecombe, is it operating?
Does anyone have a direct link please?

The car park at the bridge is really useful and the £15 is definitely worth it for the convenience and location.
It's just difficult to get out at the end end and becomes a complete binfest with people trying to merge into the cars already queuing to get out. I've seen a few flared tempers from other drivers.
Then when you finally get to the tunnel, you need to be really careful going through as you'll have fans in front and behind trying to get through at the same time. It seems dangerous to me...
Thank you for all the replies though and really looking forward to the match!

Thank you for the heads up all booked
It’s a bit unpredictable as they fill up buses.
Last time I used it we got there about an hour before kick off but seemed to wait 10-15mins to leave and just made it for kick off.
A bit earlier and you’ll be away quicker + miss traffic
