Hove to Haywards Heath is still working (Southern service)

 

[Withdean Wanderer]

Brighton to Lewes, Lewes to Haywards Heath isn't a bad journey either. Just leave a bit earlier.

Depends on your timing, but that's either a 32 minute journey or a 47 minute journey.

32 mins...so that's an extra ten minutes on your journey....not THAT much surely

Some joker bought the tickets for our journey. 10am from King's Cross. That means getting to Haywards Heath for 8.32. That means getting getting the train from Brighton at 7.33 (arr. HH 8.05) . That means getting up at 6.30.

SAKE.

So I'm scrounging a lift.

It's an annoyance but it has to be done, just like road works!

 

[BensGrandad]

I am sure that I read somewhere that the work is scheduled for the next 3 months causing disruption and buses HH to Brighton every weekend during that period.

 

[Uncle Buck]

How come looking at the timetable there are Southern services from Preston Park to London with no buses on Saturday?

Are the trains going from Brighton to Hove and then to Preston Park on the Hove to London bit?
