Now we know there's no direct trains running from Southampton and indirect ones look iffy, anyone fancy Winchester for the game and a few libations

Failing that, anyone fancy giving me a lift...!?

National rail website is telling me to change at Havant. Extra 30 minutes added to the journey but should be ok I think?

Edit:
16.12 to Havant and then the 17.00 to Brighton seems a good shout. I'll probably chance that one.

Ignore that website, showing incorrect information. Southern are running an emergency timetable.

SWT are running between Southampton and Portsmouth and Southern are running between Portsmouth and Brighton - change at Fratton.

Getting home would be tough though.

Essentially, if you're east of Cosham, you'll be ok both pre and post match. West of there and it's probably not worth trying. Coming home via Clapham is an option, but I'm not sure how late Southern and SWT are running.

NO Southern service from Southampton, either to Brighton or Victoria. You'll either have to change at Fratton, also relying on FGW (good luck...) or SWT(slow) or via Clapham.

Shit.

Any idea how often the trains to/from Fratton are? Getting back is ok as I'm staying the night in Brighton.

They aren't expecting a reduced service tomorrow as well though, are they?

Carrot Cruncher · Oct 28, 2013

In that case, as long as you have a bit of time, you'll be ok. Getting back will be the ballache and you're not doing that.

seagull_in_malaysia · Oct 28, 2013

The times do look horrendous though. From what I gather:

SW train to Fratton leaves at 44 past and gets to Fratton at 40 past. Then got to wait almost an hour for the 37 past train to Brighton, which takes 1h11m. So looking at about 3 hours just to brighton...

I might just watch this one in the pub to be honest.

2 an hour from Southampton to Pompey - hourly from there onwards.

Things MIGHT change though.

For the better or worse?

Carrot Cruncher · Oct 28, 2013

It's only 2 an hour IF FGW are running, for which there is no guarantee.

seagull_in_malaysia · Oct 28, 2013

I give up. Going to find a pub in Southampton instead.

Carrot Cruncher · Oct 28, 2013

The Alex? Or one of the Varsitys?

seagull_in_malaysia · Oct 28, 2013

Never been to the Alex. Was probably going to go to the London Rd Varsity or the Stile in portswood but if the Alex is decent and has sky sports it might be worth a shout. What are you doing?

seagull_in_malaysia · Oct 28, 2013

Just called Varsity London Rd and they said they'll put the game on. Maybe see you in there then

Sounds like a plan.

Carrot Cruncher · Oct 28, 2013

Leaving now. There should be at least 3 of us!

Good to meet you last night, even if the non synced commentary meant we knew what was happening before we saw it!
