Yep, it stinks of piss down there and it has the highest density of people wearing grey tracksuit bottoms in the BN area.

Only six trains and 25 minutes counts as a moan

How old are you! I’m 65 and fairly fit. Still play a few sports, but the thought of going down and back up those steps on my old knees doesn’t exactly appeal

As I child I would use it when the gates were up 
Portslade crossing is cctv and operated by lancing signal box , they decide when to put it down and how long to keep it down before clearing the controlled signal to allow trains to pass . Sometimes you have to wait at the red signal waiting for them to put it down grrrrr

the level crossing at Hampden Park station is one of the worst in Europe for closures. hip flask and sarnies if you time it wrong. a bridge can be used to up and over the line but hardly used tbf

Used to hold the record when London trains were 12 carriages as they blocked the crossing when going into Eastbourne. Going down to 8 as at least helped a bit.

Lived round the corner for 17 years. Dread to think how many wasted hours of my life has been spent waiting for trains to pass. Was ok until they got rid of the signalmen and box a few years ago.
Always used to use the bridge until i had the misfortune to be at the top a few years back when someone commited suicide at the end of the platform. Not a nice sight to see

I used to try and beat my Mum/Dad going down and up the Subway while they crossed above, ankle spraining manoeuvres and multiple steps at a time couldn't achieve it.
