Southern Fail has *driven* me into ditching them and using the car except on boozy albion days. Did this dispute ever get resolved ?

18 months since thread start. Still dragging on.

No resolution until either there is a General Election campaign or the franchise is up for renewal. 3rd World railway in Sussex until then.

Sussex no longer has a fit for purpose railway. Get someone in who can deliver one.

Southern Failway shareholders need to be hit in the pocket now.

Possibly those 8 were made by combining 2 previous trains from earlier in the day, and 1 of those trains didn't have a driver and so wasn't in the right place to be used ? ???

Terrible traffic through Worthing now in the mornings. I'll have to leave 30 minutes earlier from now on :nono:

The club have already organised extra buses and an additional park and ride at Sainsburys West Hove. It won't be enough, though, as the SASTA Rail 'service' will disolve on Friday night.

After being a prominent Brexit voice he has now taken a step away from all the Brexit grief/hassles and is hiding in Transport. When May goes at some point, he'll be the next to step out of the shadows to become Tory Head Honcho.

At least the club would get 1/23rd of the fee they pay Southern back + any relevant penalty clauses in the contract.

Leeds Matchnight Misery service on Friday will be GRIM. I hope the Leeds fans who will be waiting overnight at Brighton station are bringing their sleeping bags.

So not on strike then. They've been a 'mixed bag' when it comes to #attitude for many years anyway.

Are the remaining station and platform staff striking ? ???

Yes. There is no longer an endgame until SASTA gets the push.

I fully expect we'll still be in the same situation in December 2017 and onwards until the government finally hang SASTA out to dry.

Are they hiding anything about normal seasonal variation ? Why don't they compare year on year ? What are the figures for other businesses across the same weeks ? Without the above answers, those figures are vulnerable to suspicions of SPIN.

Drink driving after Amex evening games has surely increased with the disintegration of the evening match rail service. Either that or the albion have some very poor drivers amongst their support.

There are many more unmanned stations now ( staff cuts to boost shareholder profits and increase director bonuses rather than lower fares ). Which means DOO is more of an issue. I guess the unions have conceded they can't turn back the clock and reverse existing changes as no company will...
