with a 5.30pm KO - then likely return to Victoria will be about 8 - 8.30pm . With pens - about 9.30pm. (so about a 2 or 3 hour window to get everyone back south)

From what I have heard there are ongoing discussions between Southern and Network Rail with regards to strengthening the services via Littlehampton but they can't plan fully until the fixture date/time is properly announced.

Anyone wanting to get back to Lewes or eastbourne will need to be at hastings for the 2330 so will be very tight especially with extra time or penelties last viable train would be the 2154 giving 5 mins to spare. Anyone straight into hastings will be able to get as late as the 2354 arriving back at 130am. Due to the tight schedule rail replacement from Lewes maybe a better bet for anyone from there

No problem, park at Gatwick for me.

I think Gatwick will be gridlocked as a lot of people will have the same idea, typical Network Rail trying to ruin a great day.

Maybe Southern/NR will run a shuttle bus service direct from Brighton Station to Gatwick and return

Can anyone advise if East Grinstead - Clapham Junction - Willesden Junction - Wembley Central is viable or advisable?

Can't wait for Southern to realise all their staff have booked holidays that weekend and there'll be a skeleton service....
Narrowing it down but having not been to Wembley since Notts Co any advice from 'regs' appreciated
Not bothered about the journey up but looking for best (least agg) getting back
1) - Nearest but crowded? - Wembley Central - Willesden - Clapham - Brighton
2) - Least busy? - Wembley North - Willesden - Clapham - Brighton
3) - Sneaky alternative? - Wembley Stadium - Marleybone - London Bridge - Brighton

Nice one Network Rail!
And the club - pretty sure that there was a conversation.....

When I’ve done the return journey for Englang games my preferred route is:
Wembley Stadium - Marylebone - Victoria - Brighton
Rationale...fastest route to Marylebone, then either tube or taxi if running late to get the Brighton train. Plus lots of places to go for a post match meal and drinks around Marylebone and adjacent areas.
On the way up, if it’s a good day, I walk and do a pub crawl to Marylebone.

I'm rest days that weekend anyway so don't blame me.
This is far too sensible - I sense a glitch in the matrix.

Will they consider running football specials now?
