What about Worthing to London season tickets ?

Not sure. London to Brighton via Lewes is considered by Southern as a "reasonable route". I guess it might be though, as if for example the line was blocked between Haywards Heath and Preston Park, your only option would be to go to Brighton via Lewes then onto Worthing from there?

That's my plan, or I may hide in the toilet

Ignorance is no excuse as the travel conditions have been clearly stated and hence the low ticket price. As for people 'opting out', the whole travel scheme costs a fortune and was one of the conditions on building the stadium. If people opted out then the cost to the club would remain much the same but the levy for those left in would rise sharply, probably to an unworkable level (more would opt out, more burden on those left etc).
Far better for the cost to be spread across many. There are great benefits of being able to travel on any bus or train, without hassle. I have annual bus pass for the buses so I don't really need the transport but am happy to pay my bit and to have the option of using P&R or the trains.
Here you go, from other thread
A27 go past the Amex and keep left on A270 Brighton. As soon as the road forks it forks again so stay in the left lane towards Coldean and Stanmer Park. Then as you head down the hill get into the right lane of the 2 lanes as you approach traffic lights. At lights turn right into the road leading up to Stanmer Park going past the park and into the University where stewards will direct you.

Will you be disguised as a toilet as you pass through the barrier when you get to Falmer?

Listen to me!!!
Unfortunately that is true. The only way of it being fair is to stop it altogether - or expand the free travel zone further east than Lewes, but I cannot see this happening.

Do you not need the subsidised transport then ? You should have mentioned it before. And I think it is OUTRAGEOUS that the club ignored such a well thought out plan. Is there a petition somewhere i could sign ?

mate, don't be fool all your life
My guess is that P&R will be chaos (and a little fractious) so I'm going to skip it tomorrow and I'm booked on the lovely Seagull Travel bus from Tunbridge Wells. It's not as flexible as taking the car but it's bloody simple. So extra cost? Probably not a lot different. £12 I think from T wells return. Probably cost that in petrol and wear & tear on the car.

Nothing my rail ticket covers the journey between Brighton and Falmer.

As there is no travel subsidy, does that mean there will be no traffic wardens is Coldean & Moulsecoomb? If there are where is the money coming from to pay for them?
You do realise that those directions were for coming FROM the East, don't you?
Traveling Eastbound, I imagine the best place to come off the A27 is at the university / stadium junction and then re-join it heading West. You can then follow those directions. You might want to be early, though, as that junction gets very busy. Alternatively, get off at the Coldean / Hollingbury junction and head down Coldean Lane.

It should be extended to Eastbourne. It seems ridiculous that it covers the train to Haywards Heath and Worthing but not Eastbourne which is a fraction of the distance.
