[Albion] Special Buses: Negotiations Ongoing with Alternative Bus Co + "supporter contributiion"

So it's says £75 for the season but when you try and book it's £125 plus an extra amount dependent on how far you live.
Have I missed something?

it will be £75 for the new buses, Seagulls travel operate throughout the county and the furthest away will pay £125 which will still represent value.

No - the closest (of the existing routes) pays £125, the furthest away pays £270.

At the moment the Seagulls Travel website says prices start at £75 (which is for the new routes). It's not showing any other prices on my browser at the moment, as no pick up points are listed. I may well be looking in the wrong place.

I'm talking about the existing (last season) routes which you said we're £125 per season for the furthest away. They're not - the £125 is for the closest pick-up locations. There is a surcharge, of up to £145, for more distant areas.

(This has nothing to do with the new Seagulls Travel routes - I'm just correcting what you were saying about the old routes.)

Fair point. I stand corrected.

If You get the regular, scheduled buses and trains then it won't cost you anything more.

Which for me would involve over an extra hour each way. I am tempted to drive and park in Hollingbury and catch the 24 to the Hikers that someone else has mentioned. Would somewhat defeat the aim of getting people out of their cars though.

Surely there a bus from your area to a train station ? Should speed it up a bit.

Ha ha - I did consider that !

Thought you ignored them ?

Not any more but you still don't pay them !

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

So has it been confirmed that the special buses have been abolished?

 

[Brighton Breezy]

£75 extra on top of season ticket which already includes a £50 travel subsidy and was advertised and sold as including free travel on the special bus routes is AN ABSOLUTE ****ING JOKE.

Hope you're going to use your occupation to do something then

 

[Daffy Duck]

There's plenty of us who live outside the free travel boundaries that have been paying extra for quite a while now, whether by trains or coaches.

We've all been paying over and above the transport levy.

 

[Publius Ovidius]

I take it the 50 is for the park and ride busses?
