Trains For Derby Match - 2nd May

[el punal]

Ernest has been saying from the outset that this was a panic over nothing as there will be a normal Saturday service Brighton to Falmer and back.

Disquiet rather than panic. Nevertheless, if this is the case why has this not been announced by the train companies involved?

"All additional matchday train services will be in place, between Brighton and Eastbourne; but supporters should be aware that there are engineering works across the May Bank Holiday weekend which will affect services from London to Brighton.

There are engineering works between London Victoria and East Croydon, and no direct service between Victoria and Brighton.

Supporters travelling from London are advised to travel via London Bridge - but are also advised that there is a reduced service in operation between London Bridge and Brighton, and London Bridge and Lewes across the weekend.

All additional bus services will run as scheduled, but fans should note that bus services to the Amex will be on a Bank Holiday timetable, which is half the capacity of a normal Saturday schedule."

Our attempt to get to the bottom of it. Sigh.

I really like the 'trains not to show temporary' How short or long is temporary given that there were no trains showing yesterday or today, and why only for that date?

Good news !


Is it correct to assume West Coastway from Brighton is all ok as well now ?

www.realtimetrains.co.uk shows trains from Portsmouth,Southampton and thameslink and trains going to Ore,Seaford,Ashford int and Lewes ,check out the above website putting Brighton and the date and time ..... these are taking from the timetable planning system so should be right for that day .

as hinted above, they appear to have fixed the problem, National Rail site now showing trains to Brighton and Falmer on the day

Which screws Derby fans, they could be bringing 3,000 as their last away game of the season and may well need a result to secure a play-off place
