How long did it take YOU to get home from work today?

Colleague of mine left Southwick just after 6pm, has bunked down in friends house in Hove at 9pm.

There will be a lot of questions about how just 2 inches of snow has caused this level of disruption.

20 minutes, double the norm.

Used every rat run in the book to avoid the mega snow bound jams at 5.15ish on roads like Dyke Road Avenue.

Variation on a British Rail theme ... This snow was bloody slippery. Even a few mm on the road led to a loss of traction, and a lot of pranges.

2 hrs 45 mins from Ford to lancing was not in a good mood when I got home.

The weather gods have a lot to answer for.

Took the wife 4 hours to get to work tonight from Worthing to Brighton. Safely.

 

[FloatLeft]

Left work in manor royal at 6.10. Arrived home in Lewes 9.30. Trains were a nightmare.

 

[blue2]

Almost 6 hours brighton to hove back to Brighton then lancing

 

[sully]

I sensibly left Durrington at about 4.15 and was home in Hurst at 5. Only the last mile was "interesting".
The Grub, on the other hand, took 2.5 hours to get here from central Brighton by public transport.

3.5 hours hayward heath - brighton

 

[Captain Sensible]

A259 Worthing to Eastbourne, in a terrible state. A259 impassable by Rottingdean. My Mrs sat in the traffic by Ovingdean for 3 hrs before turning around and taking another hour to get to Preston park at my mums house. So 4 hrs from Royal Sussex County to Ovingdean (trying to get to Saltdean), then turned back to try to get to my mums near preston park and that took an hour! Our car has winter tyres on it, so we don't skid anywhere but too many people not able to drive in snow conditions and also the roads werent gritted this time unlike January.

 

[pottert]

5 1/2 hours from shoreham to peacehaven.

5 1/2 hours from shoreham to peacehaven.

The coast road between Brighton and Peacehaven was terrible! Although, it only took me 10 minutes to get to school so it's alright for me!

 

[brakespear]

About 10 minutes. I walk home from work

This, only 15 minutes.

2 hrs, got a lift from my boss from the marina to as close as possible to the station, 45 minutes later had to walk from the hospital as we were driving sideways and struggling to keep on the road, buses were stuck at the stops ejecting all the passengers. got to the train station and the wait wasnt too bad but the train was packed to the rafters.

as we headed out of brighton station the live rail started to spit electricity up and over the train, the strangest thing i have ever seen and the train kept losing power. a women opposite me said the same thing happened last year and they were stuck between shoreham and lancing for 5 hours. it was quite scary at first, like seeing a lightning strike from mere yards away.

 

[Pavilionaire]

My mum Ashington to Arundel 4 hours 20 mins, not helped by A27 being shut.
