[Albion] Heads up: Bus replacement Redhill to Three Bridges for Arsenal match

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Probably fixtures, but not on page one of the main board currently, so can't do any harm to flag it up again. This from the club's Pre-Match Brief email...

'Trains: Southern Rail has informed the club that they will be operating a full matchday service. However, there will be a bus replacement service in operation between Redhill and Three Bridges. Both pre- and post-match delays are expected.'

And seeing as how Southern horribly screwed up the same section of bus replacement service last Sunday, it's probably well advised to have a Plan B if you were planning on using that section of track.

You have not been charged for this information.

Likely carnage. They’ll underestimate how many people will be travelling.........

Nonsense! They've probably worked out that comparatively few Brighton supporters will be travelling from north of Three Bridges, so one, or maybe two buses will be plenty for the number of people travelling to the match. That's right, isn't it?

This is what it was like last Sunday at Redhill station, and that's WITHOUT a match

Redhill last Sunday was absolute carnage - thousands of people hanging about waiting for bus replacement services. It apparently wasn't too bad until the police decided that all the buses should queue up along the main road rather than in the railway station car park - this resulted in massive queues on the main road. Tomorrow will be "challenging" ! This is going to continue for another week or two I understand as they're replacing a junction at Earlswood.

Yes, saw that yesterday when planning a liaison. Still haven't yet decided on the best spot to park up to car share somewhere down the length of the M/A23.....

Parking up and car sharing - anyone had experience of this place:

Tempers were more than a little frayed at Redhill station last Sunday, with the Old Bill called in. Things will surely only be worse with 3000 Gooners staging sit down protests to get rid of Wenger at Redhill and Three Bridges.

I'm surprised that this hasn't been cancelled for this weekend, with the bad weather and the chaos of last weekend you'd think someone might have had a rethink
