Probably. If not you can change at Lewes, so that's something? Southern really are a mysterious bunch aren't they?

As someone who works a ten minute walk from the Amex, and thus is not reliant on trains, I would find that perversely hilarious.

If you look from Lewes to Newhaven it will show up as the replacement bus service running. I don't think you can look at the best connection from Falmer, as (I don't believe) the shuttles are on there yet (and probably won't be). You will have to take it on faith that Southern will actually run...

It would be amazing if they didn't run those. That would be peak Southern failure.

Alas, the Seaford branch is still all buses according to National Rail. I think Southern are just changing the Brighton to Lewes route, it's no shift in the emergency/revised timetable.

Given Southern now say trains are running, you've got a reasonable shot. National Rail says last train at 00:10 is running, so you've got plenty of leeway too.

This is quite amazing really. From Southern telling everyone well in advance that they couldn't run trains for Rotherham, to the announcement that even with the strike off there'd be no trains on safety grounds, to finally going "Ah, actually it's fine! We've got all the trains!" I wonder if...

On the Southern Rail website now:

Oh wow, that's awful. Hopefully the driver is banged up for a long, long time.

5pm according to the club website.

Their website still says no trains running in bold letters on the homepage.

Running some trains seems worse in a way. Sends a conflicting message, and also makes a mockery of the "safety concerns" grounds for closure.

You do get delayed kick-offs on Sky every now and then. I doubt Sky like it, but if it's requested by the police or club on good grounds, there's not much Sky could do.

Fair. Thanks for the clarity. I was going to put BTP in my post, but I wasn't 100% sure it was them that had taken issue and didn't want to accuse them of such.

Wasn't aware the union had been striking for months. Seems like it was just the last five days.

There has been an emergency time table since late June/early July I believe. It's the same one that's running today. That was a choice made by Southern, the RMT did not force them to do it because of any strikes.

The RMT aren't striking today. They weren't striking yesterday either, so Southern have had plenty of time to get rolling stock where it needs to be. They haven't. That seems like a Southern issue to me, not an RMT issue.

No, they can't run enough trains for the number of people who would likely use them, which the police deem a safety issue. By closing Falmer people won't use the trains, which stops the safety issue.

Not quite. What seems to have had happened is that they overpaid someone on work experience's expenses, which meant that HMRC reclassified them as an employee. Because of this they were being paid way under the minimum wage (essentially HMRC said that they were being paid by the expenses). That...

I've mentioned it earlier in the thread, but it does make sense to limit it if the club having sold out, or anticipate selling out, what they consider their Season Ticker Allocation. Securing a seat that's mostly empty isn't great for the club, as the hypothetical person isn't spending on things...
