Looks like 5 rows in the mock up. It doesn't look like the seats are going back into the north stand at all. Hard to say whether it'll be low enough to restrict being able to see the ball up in the air.

Quicker with a change of train doesn't mean easier for a huge lot of people. If you are travelling with luggage, children, the elderly or for leisure purposes convenience is a big consideration and time probably less so. Fear of the Underground seems to be a common thing too. Given Gatwick is a...

Time is not the primary consideration for everyone. And of course this service isn't primarily aimed at those in Brighton wanting to avoid a change of trains in London. The vast majority of passengers for this service won't be travelling end to end. 20 stops = 380 possibly journeys.

I think this service will avoid London completely, via the North Downs line.

I don't think it would take 8 hours, unless I missed something in the press release, but it will certainly be a little longer than changing in London. However, for passengers travelling to Newcastle from Brighton, the chances are they are booked on an advance ticket for a specified train at...

I think it would take approximately 6.5 hours end to end. There's definitely a market for this of people who want to avoid the hassle of changing in London and aren't in a hurry. I'd guess they are planning to use 5-car sets. A major consideration in granting open access services (as this is)...

Key change is a doubling of the collection points.

As an aside we had 463 full-time employees (inc. players) in 2024 according to the accounts. Non-playing full time employees rose from 124 to 341 which is an enormous increase. There must be a logical explanation for this. It looks far more than natural growth you might reasonably expect.

For the last home game I caught the 49 to the ground and walked from Bolney Road as the 25 was full. There were only about half a dozen other Albion fans on board which surprised me. I suspect this bus route is very under-utilized and I think this is partly down to the extra 500m walk from the...

Why the snarkiness? 500 more people delaying their journey home could mean the average wait for a train drops several minutes per passenger. I don't really understand why you are so dismissive of that. We are never going to get to the point where we everyone can walk straight onto the platform...

Sorry, I am not quite grasping your point. People removed from the queues means less queuing regardless of the train lengths and frequencies.

:mad:

I don't really understand the relevance of the "500 of those places will be reserved upstairs" part. There's no reason to assume that Amex card holders are less likely to be travelling by train. 1000 people in the facility will have the same impact on the queues regardless of the proportion with...

Ha ha. I had exactly the same thought.

Love his ability to turn sharply in an unexpected direction and power away from opponents. Very promising signing.

Yes. Southern retired the ancient class 313 fleet a couple of years ago and I don't believe they were fully replaced. There is a cascade of 24 four car class 387 units from Great Northern to Southern in the offing, but this will mean 13 of Southern's 377 units will then transfer to...

I don't think I ever envisaged it. I think we'd only ever averaged over 20,000 five seasons in our entire history at that point, with an all time high league average of just over 25,000 in 1977/78.

My experience after the Chelsea match last Friday was fine to be honest. I stayed behind for a while, walked down to the station and straight onto the platform because the queue was gone, just as the 8-car 22:49 to Brighton was pulling in. With hindsight I probably could have left earlier and...

I suspect, like others, that this will be extremely popular. There's no room to expand it, so I wonder if we'll see a second such facility spring up somewhere around the Amex in a few years.

I'm 99 percent sure Zoltar granted him a wish, leaving a mother in Brittany wondering why her child suddenly disappeared a few years ago
