Didnt stop there, but it did stop everywhere south of Haywards Heath. Would be very surprised if getting the train was cheaper than a coach though.

As someone who regularly gets a commuter train from London to Brighton in rush hour, I can confirm there is nothing relaxing, about being sardined onto a packed, airless train, while all around look miserable. Anyone engaging in conversation gets looked at like the devil.
Not sure what they paid however a return costs me £50.10 for the day, even assuming they booked in advance I can't see how 20+ people on the train was any cheaper than a coach.

Is it really as expensive as that?!?!

Yep, purchased on the day Brighton to London Bridge (this is peak time fare)
I'm pleased I get it all back on expenses. I can never see the attraction in commuting to London, paying exorbitant charges for a poor service and another two hours of your day wasted.

Weekly is around £120 though I think

That's better. But as a one off 'business' trip, £50 return is pretty high! But as surrey jim states at least he can reclaim it!

For comparison, southend Is about £85 for the week (handful of miles shorter) but only £17 per day.

I can just see the two kitmen with a wicker basket, one handle each, and another one with a big net and 15 footballs in it slung over his shoulder mincing their way down West Street

In all seriousness though as has been said, so the squad and staff got the train down.. All in all must be 25-30 people, I struggle to believe that getting the train down is cheaper than hiring out a coach, bit strange really maybe there was an issue with the team bus? #buswankers

Their coach and kit van was parked up down the side of the Metropole this morning.

Dispels the rumour they were going to queue up for a number 25 bendy bus at the Old Steine

I've always wondered if the old, 'If everyone comes out of clubs at 2am, there's bound to be trouble...' idea has been proved by the deregulation of club hours. I can't help feeling that if people are out, at various times, between say 8pm. and 6am., and possibly more pis*ed than in the old days, what with shots and Jaigerbombs etc., there is more likelihood of grief
To be honest I dont agree with the clubs now been open longer reducing the issues - I go to Drum and Bass events (just woke up from a couple of hours after Fabric last night) and the people that will cause the trouble - the drinkers - all seem to leave around 2/3 as they are hammered so I still think that you have the same bottleneck as you did when clubs closed at 2. The guys that go till 6/7 either drive or get the train and will not have the same "fighting" mentality so you just dont get the trouble - just some very strange looking people wondering around with "norms"
