Thoughts on this.

Not ideal but looks like the first train back to London from Brighton after the game is going to London bridge at 11.13pm getting in to LB at 00:38am !!

So it's either that or the palace train.

Nightmare !

Looks like 22.11 only which would be tough to catch

They will be very quiet, so I'm sure it will be fine.

Had a massive stroke of luck after the Wolves game. To make up for the crappy result the train from Falmer went to Victoria, stopping at Brighton and half a dozen others before Victoria. No getting out and queuing at Brighton was a proper treat.

National rail enquiries has trains at 10:25/10:42/10:55 -

Not sure which of these (if any) is the "Palace train" but should be plenty of options,

Would imagine the Palace train will be an extra and not call at Brighton so won’t be on NRE

Cool.

So plenty of options to get home again.
Never been an issue before, so glad to see it won't be this time either.

The palace train is a special. Their fans are escorted into the platform via a different entrance having been held back. You’d have to sneak into their queue. Good luck with that.

Christ! I searched for departing at 10:30 instead of 22:30!

It's been a long week already...

Sneaking into a palace queue .....

Furnish yourself with the right clobber and you should be alright.

Black jacket is the pre-requisite, I thought?
