It would be great, and i'll always support public transport improvements, but the logistical issues of what you're suggesting are overwhelming. What would you move to site the track?
More realistically the 700 route is good, but slow and finding ways to get this moving faster is probably the...
I think there's another point about transport options. Status, or perceived status.
In our national psyche, if you get a bus, you're a bus w****** ... (That's why the episode was funny... there's an element of truth that, that is how we see things). If you cycle, you're doing it because you...
Another desirable feature of a park and ride of course is that the distances travelled by the buses are small enough so they can get to and from the destination quickly.
Marina car park full? Never seen it full, usually loads of capacity there. Same with the Asda one. People who use the...
Still think Withdean is the perfect location for a park and ride. No new infrastructure needs to be created. They just need to put on the buses, (direct to Churchill Square) and tell people it's there.
A park and ride at the Marina (or the Black Rock wasteland bit) for traffic from the east...
What won’t help is car drivers blaming cyclists, cyclists blaming pedestrians, blaming the student population etc etc etc. If you find yourself doing it, pause for moment and ask yourself if you need to grow up

I’d add my weight to the comment that Brighton does take a while to get around in, by foot, bus, bike or car compared to similar sized cities, (London isn’t really a fair comparison).
There are some fairly simple and relatively low...
Thanks very much for the photos
It’s only when you see them you realise the alarming scale of the decline then shudder to think of what’s to come.
It never fails to confuse me. It’s not like there was no pressure on public funds at local or national level at the time those photos we’re taken...
I'm in favour of more cycle and bus lanes .... though this should be a part of a city-wide joined up transport strategy.
Cutting car lanes from 4 to 2. Ok there's the stick for drivers. where's the carrot to get into or around town in other ways?
If we could turn Brighton into a cycling...
