Special Buses: Negotiations Ongoing with Alternative Bus Co + "supporter contributiion"

According to the Brighton and Hove buses website, they will no longer be running the R, H and P buses this season and all questions should be directed to the club.

That's a joke, surely?

Have I missed the joke?

Transport is looking a bit of a tangle then...I was looking at H as a substitute for Coldean when coming in from the West....when I am not on the train of course.

But the rottingdean and mile oak shuttle buses still run yeah??

No mention of the 'S' bus in the OP, so I was feeling kinda smug, but alas, it appears that's gone too. If true, this has got the potential to have a major factor on attendances (increases the hassle factor of having to change buses and/or get to a P&R site), club revenues (fewer people driving and not drinking) and relationships between fans/customers and the club.

Needs some clarification pronto, methinks...

Is that the "S" bus ?

Uh oh. Trains could become a bit of a squeeze.

If they are stopping the H buses I bloody well hope they are doubling the number of S buses!

Me thinks the club may have a problem levying the transport charge in future if the service is being cut back, never mind, they will just add it on to the booking charge, or ticket price........

That can't surely be right ? If it is what did season ticket holders pay the £50 travel supplement for ?

Shit - just checked :

"For the new season there will only be the special Park & Ride football buses, to get there from other places in the city area you will need to change onto any of the direct services serving the Amex Stadium. Brighton & Hove Albion will not be running any other special services this season any questions should be directed to the football club."

What the bloody hell are the club doing ?

I HOPE that just means they have made arrangements with someone else and just won't be using B&H Buses anymore. Perhaps they were charging too much or something.

I HOPE...

Greg Bobkin · Jul 17, 2013

Oh, and more people leaving early, of course.

How long, and how many buses to get from Shoreham-by-Sea? :shrug:

Unless they have found a better deal with a cheaper more efficient operator!?

mejonaNO12 aka riskit · Jul 17, 2013

This must be wrong. Surely?

So from rottingdean ive now got to get into town to catch another bus or get a train? The trains after the game will be mayhem. The R bus queue was huge so of that number of people are being redirected then it would be chaos.

Again, have I misunderstood this?

From the B&H website:

For the new season there will only be the special Park & Ride football buses, to get there from other places in the city area you will need to change onto any of the direct services serving the Amex Stadium. Brighton & Hove Albion will not be running any other special services this season any questions should be directed to the football club.

You'd think the club website might mention it then. Or is it another sneaky change like the Newport game ?

Ah, that didn't even cross my mind.

That must be the reason. I can't see any logic behind scrapping the routes.
