EDIT: Nothing to see here. I think i misread that the trains weren't normal for Saturday when in fact they are.

"Southern Rail have informed the club that they will be operating an enhanced service for this match on the line that services Falmer

Replacement bus service Three Bridges to Lewes and Brighton is not an enhanced service other than in the mind of Chris Grayling

It looks like the normal service which i think used to be called "the normal matchday service" but is now called the "enhanced service"

I must admit when the line is closed north of Lewes the service between Eastbourne and Falmer is actually much better than when the line is open as you get more frequent trains running along the coast. This is of course no consolation to those having to go by bus.

Enhanced from what’s normally available on a weekend working day ?

It’s quality, not quantity.

It means that daft timetable we had for the Derby game.
3 trains in 10 mins, then a 20 min gap!
Trains from Brighton at 01, 05, 11, 31, 35, 41 to Falmer.
Some of these will go from Platform 6 as well.

Sussex, Sussex not by the sea and actually nearer

I always assume that "enhanced service" meant that the trains running between Lewes and Falmer were longer (8 car instead of 4) on matchdays as the basic Mon-Sat off peak service between those two stations is already 6 per hour each way whether or not the Albion are at home.

Is there a more depressing three-word phrase than 'Replacement Bus Service'?

Looks like the same for the Southampton game also.
