Train advice for tonight - NO TRAINS BETWEEN THREE BRIDGES & HAYWARDS HEATH TONIGHT

[Ernest]

Updated info

1717 London Victoria to Brighton via Littlehampton arrival time at Brighton is 1915 (1910 at Hove) so a cab from the station would just about get you to Falmer for kick off

 

[Lord Bracknell]

And the good news is ... there should be plenty of room on the Brighton - Falmer trains, since half the people who want to use them will have failed to get to Brighty.

Trains on London line f**ked for tonight

Great!

Another argument for reopening the Uckfield to Lewes line, which would provide an alternative London-Brighton route (via Falmer). Why they have never done this, given the problems on the London-Brighton line, is beyond me.

Latest update

xx07 and xx37 services from Haywards Hth to Lewes/Eastbourne/Hastings running as booked.

Those times don't quite stack up, how about the 18.50 from HH to Lewes? Are all trains from HH to Lewes running as usual?

 

[Springal]

How will this affect Worthing-Brighton ? Or should it be pretty good as trains/crew should be in position by 6 ?

 

[See-Goals]

See Sticky for best route back. I got as far as H Heath this morning and gave up.

 

[Gritt23]

Can i presume that Wivelsfield to Falmer will be a normal service and not effected by all these delays

That's what I'm hoping too.

Peak time trains are starting at Haywards Heath but not all are running

Without depressing everyone further. If southern are using 70 extra buses, will there be any left for the park and rides?

 

[Carrot Cruncher]

This is the bit I don't get:

On the West Coastway, services are running as timetabled with the exception of:

Brighton to Southampton hourly at 33 minutes past the hour.

I'm on the 1333 from Soton to Brighton and it's bang on time leaving Ford. The incoming service (presumably the 1133 ex Brighton) arrived on time into Soton.

According to Brighton and Hove Albion | News | Latest News | Latest News | IMPORTANT RAIL ADVICE FOR TONIGHT they are putting extra buses for park and ride as they are expecting more people to drive tonight.

From 1600 there will be a train every 20mins to Brighton, FCC are running a shuttle

How is it a "ferk up"? Who has made, what mistake here?

Problems on the trains, roads etc happen from time to time. As far as I know, no-one from teh club has demolished Balcombe Tunnel.

Well that's a relief, so I should expect a relatively normal service to/from Falmer?

Mill Road was full at 6.15 on Wednesday, so presume those extra buses are for the other sites. Seriously would not bother with Mill Road if looking like getting there after 6.15!!

Hopefully, although giving yourself an extra few minutes might help

 

[Rugrat]

That'd be nice .. unfortunately ....

I have 1 so if two more want picking up at Horsham and dropping at 3 Bridges just PM

That means dropping back at 3 bridges after the game just in case not clear - no petrol dosh needed as was going anyway
