Very few scheduled services are running on Boxing day, bar a skeleton service on certain routes as far as I understand? This would surely create a surplus of drivers who would be 'stood down' from their rostered duties surely? I don't know the exact figure of how many drivers Brighton Buses...
Pretty much 'this', nail on head, etc.
This is a disappointing decision. Its a major headache sorted by shifting the game, but I still think its the wrong one.
There needs to be a review into what has gone wrong with the pre match travel arrangements for this (non) game. We know there are no...
The hire of buses for 23 home league matches would surely have been budgeted into the transport plan at the start of the season? Whether the requirement to provide buses for a Boxing day match was included in the contract or slipped through the small print net at the time is another matter.

Ooops, that slipped through the net. Almost 'fixturised' myself. Interesting, especially as the person who told me isn't local & works for SW Trains in the London area.

That piece above is a prelude to a postponement surely?
As mentioned many times, we know the uniqueness of The Amex & its large reliance on public transport as part of a sustainable...
If you park legally, it won't be a problem. Moulsecoomb/Coldean don't have parking restrictions. Not yet anyway.
I'm not sure how far along Lewes Road the controlled parking starts? I suspect the controlled zones start further away than you would care to walk anyway.
We've played Boxing Day games at Withdean in the past. Brighton Buses provided park & ride services on those occasions. Why can't OR aren't they providing them this coming Boxing Day? Maybe Brighton & Hove Buses might care to explain why they are not providing a P & R service that day, if that...
