I'll look after the skirt
Posting on the other thread about train tickets reminded me:
At the Polegate end of the A27, a sign has appeared stating: Eastbourne to Lewes, 20 minutes with the BR emblem below. In the opposite direction near Lewes is a similar sign stating: Lewes to Eastbourne, 20 minutes. Not quite as weird as the no racing of horse and cart signs near Fontwell, but kind of odd I thought.
I'm not going to lose sleep over these signs, just curious? What is the point? Do car drivers need to know its 20 minutes by train from either point. (Is it that quick?) I can't be arsed to check timetables.
Maybe when we're stuck in a snarl up along that stretch of road, its the railway or whoevers way of saying "Told ya so"?
This is LB's manor around that area. Know anything? I need to know.
