Engineering works north and east of Lewes for the Bristol City game

[ManOfSussex]

I was just looking at Southern's website in anticipation of the victory parade next month and noticed this - http://www.southernrailway.com/your-journey/plan-your-journey/improvement-works/

There's engineering works planned and rail replacement busses next weekend between:

Haywards Heath and Lewes
Polegate and Lewes
Seaford and Lewes

It's not in the national rail planner yet, but is there any hope of the works being delayed or altered?

FFS!

The coupe de gras from SASTA for a woeful woeful season.

Come on Seagulls Travel it's about time you went to see your small business manager @'insertnameofgenerichighstbank' to discuss terms for a loan for you to run the match day services! [emoji35][emoji35][emoji35]

Fatheads!

Shocking timing, but isn't it Network Rail that is causing this particular problem?

I thought it was just Sunday and Monday, but seems it is Saturday too .... f-ing shambles, how out of touch!

Oh FFS I thought there was going to be ONE game where I could have a leisurely journey with no effort getting back etc.

After the game, catch the train to Brighton and get the 12 home. It's quicker.

odd that this doesnt show on the National Rail journey planner. i wonder (hope) if its cancelled and Southern haven't updated their page.

Oh FOR ****S SAKE, UTTER UTTER *****

It was so good on Monday walking out of the stadium at ten to eight and jumping on a train that took me all the way home to Bexhill. I didn't have to drive and could enjoy a pre and post match pint or 4. Now the celebrations which will follow the Bristol game are really ****ed up as there is no real choice but to drive. We use seagulls travel for evening matches now which I could do from Bexhill but that would mean having no choice of when to leave.

When I used Seagull Travel they always allowed delayed departures on the last home game so everyone could see the players do lap of honour.
Not sure if EFL will allow us to be presented with trophy if we have already or do win it that night which might mean on the pitch again.
Might be worth contacting Seagull Travel.

Its the only time we will get the trophy if we win it tomorrow or that day. Seagulls travel from Bexhill could risk missing kick off unless they factor the massive delays thanks to long term roadworks on the main road between Bexhill & Eastbourne which is another concern.

Been put back a day?? Effing well hope so...

 

[Rock Lobster]

Sorry, just noticed ManOfSussex has already pointed this out...

 

[ManOfSussex]

Touch wood, it DOES indeed look if this has been put back until the 30th of April now:

National Rail journey planner is showing busses on the 30th but NOT on the 29th as well.

At least I can carry on with my plan of finish work Sat AM, hop on the train to Lewes, have some food and drink; head to the amex, have some more drink, watch us lift the trophy, have some more drink; head back in the Lewes/Eastbourne/Hastings direction, have some more drink. Stagger home, fall asleep. Sunday Bank Holiday, head to Hastings Old Town, have some more drink and carry on celebrating

So just want to check, it looks like if I travel from Three Bridges to Falmer, there won't be any replacement buses, correct? It looks like on the website it's all been moved to Sunday but I just want to be doubly sure before trying to a ticket at 2pm!

That appears to be the case.
