[Albion] Best solutions for Amex transport issues

[Weststander]

What would the actual route of the monorail be? Old Steine/Valley Gardens straight up the Lewes Road? Or from, say, Hove Station with pickup points at George Street and then along Church Road, Western Road and North Street?

A termini at the Norfolk Bridge Shoreham and Amex Fanzone. A seafront route until the Palace Pier.

1. Install ticket barriers with properly separate lanes for east and Westbound passengers. Once the numbers match the train capacity (including standing space) the barriers turn red and close. Once through you know you're on the next train.
I don't attend enough to gauge how much of an issue it is but I feel like we lose 10 or 15% of capacity by the trains not being filled up.

2. Another dedicated bus station with direct access on to the A27 but a few hundred metres from the stadium to ease congestion.

3. Bigger trains. I'm often shocked how few carriages there are for a 30k stadium

1. How would that work ? No ticket to show that would operate a barrier, and would cause huge congestion at the barriers anyway. The staff at the gates already have clickers. The Brighton-bound staff seem pretty good at filling up the carriages, the problem on the Eastbound side is people not getting on the first Lewes-bound train and instead waiting for their Seaford/Eastbourne service (so the staff count the number through the gate to ‘full’, but loads of them don’t get on the train)
2. Where ? How would you be able to walk to it ?
3. No more rolling stock available

I was at 6 of those games.

I'm sure there are some on here who were at the Chelea (67) Wolves (69) Reading (70) Rochdale (72) .....

9 - all the ones from Wolves onwards, like quite a few on here I'm assuming.

I think the shuttlebus into town idea is a good one. One of the problem will be that it needs to always contend with traffic congestion after a match, especially roundabouts by the Amex. Even if buses pick up on the A27 they still problems on return Maybe if supporters could get down to the Keep, the buses could use the traffic lights there to pick up and return?

I agree with this. I think it needs to be no stopping until town centre though, as there are other buses to serve London Road/Lewes Road.

What we really need is a train that’s a “fifteen carriage” “magic carpet made of steel”:
