Waze suggests 7 minutes from the Jury’s Inn Hotel ( taxi rank rear of station ) to Grand Hotel
6 minutes from Grand Central Pub ( front of station).
Hardly a big inconvenience as one or two are suggesting
For taxis at Brighton station head through the barriers, immediately turn sharp left and left again so as walking with the track to your left, you will come to the large Hackney Carriage rank, don’t walk out of the station towards Queens Road even though the red line suggests you should 🤦♂️ my bad
