Normally wait for 10 - 15 minutes for racecourse but today 30 minutes. Due to withdrawal of "free" buses?

Just be thankful you weren't in the queue for buses to Mill Rd. I thought I'd spend some time browsing the Albion store post-match and watch the highlights in the concourse before heading to the bus stop. Still ended up waiting half an hour before I finally managed to board a shuttle. Can't speak for the other P+R services though, although those queues seemed to be a great deal shorter when I headed for them.

Yep - was always going to happen. I for one have had to resort to the Racecourse P&R because they have withdrawn the R bus.

walked up to coldean same as normal ..fiver for a driveway seems a good enough deal to me...and nearer than i normally parked ....oh and no match day prog..that money helps pay for my parking 
The cycle rack opposite the shop was pretty full. We got there 15 minutes before kick-off and got the last two places - and that in the rain. Last season we were getting there 5 minutes before KO and finding spaces. Looks like a few more people are choosing to cycle this year

Used to get the S bus, now signed up for the new bus service which works pretty well. Departure at 5:15 also saves the mad dash at full-time - not always easy with two kids in tow.
Sorry for going against the grain of this thread, just offering a different perspective. There were also seats available, if anyone was thinking of a different option...

After my rant about the Mill Rd P&R after the Derby game I decided to try option B, train from Haywards Heath. 15 min drive to HH; parked 5 min walk from station; caught the 1407 to Lewes; changed to the Falmer train and at the ground by 1440. One hour door-to-door. As good as the drive and parking at Coldean.
On the way home however there was no chance of catching the 1701 to Lewes (which connects with a HH train) unless you leave the game early which I will not do. So waited 15 mins for the next train and then a 20 min wait at Lewes for a HH train. Door to door one and a half hours, no better than the Mill Rd P&R.
Will have to look at a Plan C for next week.

Plan C should be picking up the Uni parking voucher that was on sale £150.
It's cut a minimum of an hour and 15 mins off our Mill Road P&R days, and most importantly allows me to leave home AFTER I have finished work!!

Train queue was longer however it appears narrower.
Caught the 17:16 to Brighton OK however at Brighton the 17:33 train to Southampton was closed for access at 17:27 which is frankly pathetic as it probably ran half-full.
