*TRAIN NEWS* Brighton main line closed tomorrow

[Questions]

How come that the Boxing Day match last season was postponed because a bus-only service was deemed inadequate and yet there's no problem now? At least, there's no excuse to postpone any future Boxing Day games now

Except none of the buggers will work on Boxing Day.

Unhelpfully, the National Rail website still has the Brighton - Lewes - Brighton (e.g. 0837 from Brighton) service running as normal.

Shambles. Will be carnage getting to and from the game unless there are a LOT of buses.

Anybody know how the park & ride costs from the Racecourse?

Park and ride does not cost anything - but is it operating on Monday ?

I predict chaos unfortunately as the train crew diagrams will show a normal service and not what will run

So glad I decided to watch this one at home......... On my non HD channel though.

So will the carriages now be too long to stop at falmer

 

[Wilka]

So are the trains not stopping at Falmer at all?

 

[Ernest]

The train travel is not included in the match ticket price for tomorrow

There will be a lot of buses used to run the rail replacement service.

P&R will incur a cost on Monday.

Hot off the press. Brighton to Haywards Heath closed due to flooding and will be a special service tomorrow

Will they be putting London bound trains from Worthing via Horsham ?

For the cup games it does cost. I don't think the Racecourse was due to be open for Monday.

 

[Ernest]

Will they be putting London bound trains from Worthing via Horsham ?

Yes, the Littlehampton to LB rush hour ones will go via Horsham

Littlehampton to Vics are diverted to Brighton and terminate there

 

[Vegas Seagull]

The £260 ST parking ticket for the Uni still works for this game does it?

 

[Thunder Bolt]

The travel isn't included so the park & ride will cost something surely?

Third world rail in the UK. Yet we seem quite happy with the crap provided.

Trains out of Brighton are fine today. So why an issue tomorrow?

 

[HawkTheSeagull]

P&R buses will be fine tomorrow, the club already have them booked and the companies must honour this.

You cannot to anything to prevent this, groundwater is flooding lots of the country - i suppose half the country is a f**king joke for grinding to a halt then in flooding ?

You dont need more rain for groundwater levels to rise - its at a record level now at Patcham.

Alright then - please detail how you could prevent this flooding. I ask again as you failed to give an answer yesterday.

Also, third-world ? Really ? I assume Sudan have a better train service than us then - somehow i doubt that

 

[The Wookiee]

Yes, the Littlehampton to LB rush hour ones will go via Horsham

So I could go direct to 3 bridges from Worthing ? I need to be at 3 bridges for 5pm

 

[ManxSeagull]

I predict a delayed kickoff.

We arrive in Gatwick at approx 17:30 assuming no delays from the Island. 2 hours 15 minutes should be enough time to negotiate our way to Falmer
