[Albion] Supporter Transport from HENFIELD

[Poyningsgull]

Having recently moved to Henfield, what are options 're transport to the Amex next season.
Assume I can get fixed up through Seagulls Travel but thought their might be someone on here who knows of a local mini bus option I could join.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Henfield you say?

 

[Springal]

I'm pretty sure they are still using horse and cart in Henfield based on my last visit there

Henfield is a lovely village , but if you don’t drive or haven’t got a car , transport links are I suspect quite limited . I love the idea of living in a village but not sure I could deal with the practicality of it . I think Brighton & Hove is quite a small environment to live in but I enjoy it because like New York it has a big cafe culture & a buzz that other areas of Sussex I’ve been to just don’t seem to have .

Is the only way to go. I'm not sure that Seagulls Travel still serve Henfield anymore. When they did they were certainly more expensive than NWSS.

Been using them to travel to games from Cowfold ever since their inception in 2011. Excellent service.

Hey Henfield isn't all that remote you know, one hourly bus service in each direction between Brighton and Horsham, and another that runs to Pulborough and Burgess Hill, although yeah, if it's a cafe culture you are looking for, or a plethora of restaurants, you are likely to be disappointed.

Catch the train.

Oh...

Any ideas how much a coach season ticket was last season? No clues on the website that I could see.

No idea - I don't use them, but know of others that do - I'm sure there's a point of contact on their website - I know Andy S is not involved any more - think a guy called Mike is who you need to communicate with

Blame Beeching for closing the railway line. The buses were every 30 minutes in those days.

Oh...

Oh if only it was still 1963.

Well the 17 bus from Brighton to Horsham, and vice versa was every 30 minutes right up until last year when the Pandemic hit.

We”be just moved to Henfield and love it.
The Henfield One did inform me that they do have a mini bus option.

Yes, my uncle had to take early retirement when the line closed. He was porter, signalman, ticket collecter and general bottle washer at Henfield station.

Many memories of that bus. used to go up to the NCH fete in September each year at Mannings Heath. I came from that home.

I think it was the 107 or the 117 then ?

Guessing the nearest station in the 60s was Partridge Green. I do wonder if the strange tour the number 17 does round there is due to some ancient agreement that may still exist in some quarters. Hardly anyone seems to get off or on.

Taxi to Shoreham, train to Brighton then bus or train to Amex. Or if a friendly neighbour gives you a lift even free of charge.

Yes it bore the number 107 when l first moved to the village in 1989, then reverted back to the 17, (the number it origianlly had), some 15 or 20 years ago.

The population of Partridge Green is a bit larger than Cowfold now, so l suppose if the 17 ceased to do the "PG Loop" as we call it, then the village would be devoid of all public transport!
