This is just a hunch, but could it be because the line from Hove to Victoria joins the main line between Brighton and Preston Park?

To clarify, trains were running Hove - H Heath, just the one I wanted to catch was cancelled......

I have lived next to one railway line or other almost all my life and the "works night" is an annual event... floodlights, gangs of workers shouting to each other, heavy equipment and the rail scraping engine (or whatever the f*ck it does) following at walking pace.

Its part and parcel of having a railway! Don't like it... move! I'm sure the bloody railway was there before you were!

A couple of the shuttles were cancelled due to a loss of signalling at Brighton. The buses did leave at the same time, but 1 was fast and 1 was a stopper.

There was reduced line capacity due to the work, hence why an hourly shuttle ran.

I'm sure HB&B would have mentioned it if the residents had been warned in advance. But there is nothing so urgent that on a line already closed for the day, they had to do it there and then. Simply not buying this at all, they were out of order starting that early. You'd feel differently in HB&Bs shoes.



Certainly hasn't been ruled out as a possibility. Where was Ernest when the work was being done? All I'm saying..

We have a line at the bottom of the garden and it's true there have been several overnight works that woke us in the past 38 years, we tend to roll over as try and get back to sleep, it's got to be done every now and then.
