[Travel] Heads Up: Planned Engineering Works Affecting SF Day

[Cotton Socks]

Its probably because the South West route is the only service into Clapham and has you avoiding the tube. The buses from Croydon to Clapham are non advertised to get people onto local bus routes.

What are the chances of them cancelling them? Engineering works are always planned for the last weekend of the month but they've cancelled them before unless they're urgent?

What on the 15th? Highly unlikely, it’s only 3,000 away fans to Chelsea. Cup semi, I don’t think they will, most of the routes to Wembley are unscathed.

No, the one's on SF day.

Can’t see it myself, if it was the BML, it would be pulled but Littlehampton to Brighton is only a one route, I would count on it staying.

That was an option, but thought it would be a better atmosphere on the train from Brighton.

It may well be a better atmosphere on the outward journey, but result dependent, an altogether different one heading home!

Losing at Wembley is gutting but a SF far worse.

So no King’s Cross for the semi final and no Victoria for Chelsea? I absolutely effing despair at the state of our railways. Overpriced rip off and never runs when you want it.

Come home the other way then.

Well when did weekend rail travel ever run smoothly?

Yep. Trains are usually better on days when they are not running.

 

[Official Old Man]

It is also possible that the workers doing the engineering stuff may also have tickets to the game and suddenly 'go down with covid'.

Does anyone know how long the rail replacement buses take between worthing and Brighton Station? Have done it before but after several cold beverages so don't remember. We are going to take the train on the way up and then Seagull coaches for the return only.
