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...

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.

Yup.

Some more pics from the planning application. Those blue things look like shipping containers to me, which should not be a surprise I guess, given the club's enthusiasm for BoxPark.

This suggests upstairs will be for American Express Card holders. Taking this further, it could be inferred that Amex will contribute towards some of the costs, as they did for the Amex lounge in the south east corner.

What are the nature of their objections? I can't see it impacting Coldean on matchdays. Is it non-matchday use they are unhappy about?
