Falmer Station

[Dowling93]

Sorry if this has been discussed but what are they doing to the station in anticipation for the new Stadium?

 

[Everest]

New bridge and barriers.

errrr, I think that's it

 

[Brovion]

There's a big wide footbridge going/gone up .... and that's about it.

 

[Dowling93]

They better put on more frequent or bigger trains for that then

 

[Everest]

Talks are in progress

Are they anticipating another new stadium Don't they know there's one there already?

the problem is the access at lewes junction which determines the length of trains that can go over it and the frequency of the servicers that can access falmer station.

This was known to be a problem for the stadium application at the public enquiries but the subj was never brought up by the antis

Two stadiums in a area of outstanding natural beauty, previously virgin soil, surely not? Bet the build a hotel too.

Not sure its possible to make the train carraiges any more than a 4 car due to the size of the platform, ive not seen a train of a longer configuration than this at falmer station, there is no time to lenghthen the platforms so the only option i suppose is to shuttle the trains from brighton to falmer eg , Brighton -falmer driver changes ends heads straight back off to brighton ect ect... the normal services that go to brighton from seaford eastbourne ect would have to be slotted in to a tight timescale though for the shuttle system to work , it takes around ten minutes to get from brighton to Falmer so in theory you could have the shuttle 6 extra 4 car drop offs at falmer via brighton plus the current 2 per hour regular services running on the east bound line. im sure the club and southern have come up with a much better plan than that but it will be interesting to see how its managed.

Dream on. Have you looked at the signalling between Brighton and Lewes

 

[Return of the Rev]

ANYONE TAKEN A TRAIN FROM BRIGHTON TO LEWES THE BACK AND OFF AT FALMER JUST TO SEE THE STADIUM FROM THE TRAIN

 

[Lord Bracknell]

... in theory you could have the shuttle 6 extra 4 car drop offs at falmer via brighton plus the current 2 per hour regular services running on the east bound line.

The current service is four trains per hours stopping at Falmer, plus the Ashford train that runs non-stop between Brighton and Lewes.

I think they should consider an extra train to Lewes that connects directly with a London train, so fans travelling north don't necessarily have to go via Brighton.

1901 club members are getting their own personal rail transport.

Bet they build a hotel too.

It would help attract the conference bookings, wouldn't it? Good idea; I might suggest it to Mr Perry if I speak to him
