Departure after game & P+R - some constructive criticisms.

[Ken Newbury]

Brilliant. So what are your constructive suggestions, oh wise one ??

Simple really, they continue to use the P&R area in the car park, have structured, barriered, well-stewarded queues and turn the traffic lights off at the junction of village way and control the traffic by hand to prioritise the longest traffic queues out of the stadium.

I could never understand why they fill one bus at a time.

If a bus holds 70/80 people then why can't a steward let that number through then start loading the next bus?

Still too much volume of stadium traffic all squeezing through the only way in and out.

Need another exit out, so it's back to the drawing board - I'm afraid.

Fair enough, we'll have a drawing board each then

We all new the travel would be a nightmare - it's part of it i'm afraid. But it's very early days and if the clubs reaction to other things such as the barriers on the West Stand are anything to go by they will be actively working hard to make things better. It will prob take 6 months to a yr to sort itself out IMO...

Most games will be nearly all STH's who will get to know their way around in regards to transport. The Gills game had loads on non STH, many making their 1st trip and, of course, it was dark. Things will improve and I hope they look to the quewes that cut across the top of the steps. it's there that better directions are needed.

Completely unworkable, the new large bridge over the railway line last night was blocked by passengers waiting to get onto the Lewes platform, so much so that people trying to get to the University car parks had a very hard time getting there.

If your bright idea of putting P&R buses outside Falmer Station on the A27 was ever used people literally wouldn't be able to get to them after an evening game.

Back to the drawing board on this one I'm afraid!

The queue covering the whole of the bridge would be easily solved by putting some barriers along the left hand side to contain the queue's width whilst actually on the bridge. Not that impossible is it.

I suppose the question would be that with a narrower queue, it will be much longer. Agree it's not insolvable but it does cause a further problem

But wouldn't the queue just stretch further down the ramp up to the bridge? It would probably end up merging with the Brighton queue at the end but again this would be easily solved with barriers.
