25 bus to/from Amex advice

[nigeyb]

I'm getting the 25 bus from Palmeira Square, Hove tomorrow night - for the first time - which I've heard is a good alternative to the train

Where's the best place to pick up the 25 back into Hove after the match?

Any other tips?

Thanks.

The stop right outside the Amex on A27.

You'll just have to wait until you can get on but normally doesn't take too long

Give yourself plenty of time. Its a right slag getting up through Lewes Road, especially rush hour on a Friday I'd imagine.

Thanks Bigtomfu + Easy 10

Or jump on park and ride to Mithras house then wait for a 25 there

Thanks. Is that better than getting the bus outside the ground?

Big shout for the 49 from Moulscecoomb.

Be careful.

The 25 doesn't always run from Palmeira Sq - B&H buses have in the past quire regularly turned them around at the Old Steine during busy periods

You will probably be OK, but if I was going to do that route I would pickup the 25 from the Old Steine, just to be 100% sure.

I use this bus every game and would say do not wait on the A27 as it will be full by the time it gets there I always get the first bus from near the away end in Village way then change at Lewes Rd garage if it is a 23 or 50 to get into town. All buses go to Old Steine when you can get on another bus to Hove and get a seat comfortably. You may be standing or squashed to the garage but after that you should be ok.

There's a 1 in 3 chance that at the Pavilion or St Peters some GOON will dive into the bus via the back doors and the driver will refuse to leave until they've ****ed off. They will feign ignorance.

Get any bus to Churchill Square and change there. I caught the 29 back after the cup game which went to Imperial Arcade.

Spot on

Better still, the terminus/starting point is up the hill behind the West Stand. You can get a 23, 25 or 50 from there and they all go to Lewes Road garage then on to different destinations. That's a good place to change if you are heading somewhere specific. Beware of the 50. It goes to Churchill Square but via Hollingdean, which can add ages to your journey.

The trouble with the A27 stop is that it's a bit of a melee, packed buses and loads of students heading into town as well as the football crowd.

Thanks - that sounds like good advice

Perhaps until the train disruption he has no need to use the bus I use the bus because it stops near my home and goes to the Old Steine and Village Way so no or very little walking involved

I don't go that often SIMMO but when I have been I've always travelled from Hove station, near my house. Though I cycled once - got some advice on that from NSC too. This will only be my 5th visit (I think) to the Amex. What can I say? I'm not a hardcore supporter but loads of my friends are, so I always enjoy my visits. Had a season ticket at Arsenal for all of the 90s but always followed Albion too - saw games at the Goldstone and Withdean too.

I hardly dare mention that this is my first game as a "half" season ticket holder, but it is.
