Start on No 12 bus buying Southern saver
Then by rail
Seaford to Lewes
Lewes to East Croydon (Southern Rail)
Exit East Croydon
Enter East Croydon to activate Oyster Card
East Croydon to London Bridge (FCC)
Exit London Bridge
Stroll around Market and go to only pub in London.
London Bridge to South Bermondsy (Southern Rail)

Then, snakes alive, I'll have to try and get home. Will I make it?

Why dont you just use a Southern train from East Croydon to London Bridge - means you wont have to pay with your Oyster. They run frequent enough - you have a Southern say saver ticket anyway !

There is NO work on the train affecting South Bermondey (only on a line at Crystal Palace) - it only says above its affected as a usual service isnt running because of said works, everything else is fine.

There IS however work after 6PM between West Worthing and Littlehampton on Saturday.

No problems on the Btn to Lbg FCC route or the Lbg to Sbm Southern route, if you go any other way then I wouldn't know as there is engineering work around the Crystal Palace - Streatham Hill area but wouldn't affect you if go the normal direct way via Lbg

Theres 1 every 10 minutes or so i think, may as well just see whats available, if theres a long wait then use the FCC.

15, but if he looks young enough he could probably get away with it.

Brighton - East Croydon - New Cross Gate. Longer walk from the station to the ground than south bermondsey. But i'm fine with that.

I need to know the actual carriage number I will sit in so I can record it in my book

The one nearest the exit too, so you get out quicker than everyone else.

I think it is upto 16, my two are 12 and 9 and I am sure we asked because my boy is 13 soon and the chap at train station said 16

There are direct trains from Victoria to South Bermondsey, thereby avoiding London Bridge. They leave at 11 and 41 past the hour.

Useful if you have just been to the Regency Cafe for a fry-up.

God I love The Regency, just around the corner from work! Place must earn a fortune..................
