There I was on the 1604 to London Bridge, with a bottle of DR Pepper and a bottle of Fanta Lemon, and also a Sun newspaper. Was more than ready for the 58 minute journey ahead, picking up a mate at Gatwick. Until suddenly I hear there's been a f***ing fatality at Balcombe (F'ing BALCOMBE!!!) meaning my train was canceled, and that went for every train going into London. Cheers x.
Anyhow after circling Churchill Square, god knows how many times I decided to go back to Brighton Station and ask how long it would be before any trains were running "At least 3 hours" the man said. But he said if your after, Gatwick, London Bridge or London Victoria - you can get a train to Haywards Heath then a COACH( I felt like Basil Fawltys crew, I really did!) to Three Bridges then a train from Three Bridges to Victoria. So a simple trip which should have seen me in a pub in Tottenham by 6, turned into a disaster. I ended up getting to the ground at 7.45! with no time for a Bevvy.
The only good thing in that chaos was, I got the last seat on one of the coaches from Haywards Heath.
And If that wasn't enough, the 2302 was 20 minutes late getting back in from Brighton.
This just proves how selfish people are, and that if people are going to jump infront of a train, they should do it when the 2 times UEFA Cup champions aren't playing.
