This means, therefore, i can get Aldrington to Brighton and then Brighton to PP? and when Falmer is built, Aldrington To Brighton and change at Brighton to PP?

Is it specifically just to travel to and from preston park or can you get away with using it more generally? I was thinking of using it to go into Brighton from Hassocks, then out to PP, then after the game go to Burgess Hill and then Lastly back to Hassocks, could i get away with all that on the travel voucher.

(Cheapskate... I know)

To sum up:

Excellent value - unless you live anywhere near Withdean.

The good news is I shall need it for Falmer as otherwise it's about 35-45 minutes walk (I haven't tried it yet) over the golf course and through Wild Park - so I shall cease complaining about the voucher in two years time!

One point - if they want us to stay behind afterwards rather than all rushing for the trains they'll have to make it valid for a decent time limit.

For sure.

Don't really appreciate the four quid surcharge on the match ticket price for the privilege tho ???
Shhh! You'll get you-know-who telling us that actually the voucher is "valueless".

FOUR POUND SURCHARGE!?! I see.

Offer two tickets then. One with (and 4 pounds more) travel stubs. One without (and four pounds cheaper) with out.

I see why people there might be angry now.

Believe its part of the planning consent at Withdean that it HAS to be included.

why the f*** would you want to go to preston park on your way to Falmer?

The plan details will probably need to be reviewed for Falmer and there may be scope for some change though? For example, why should Seniors, as an idebtified group of ticket holders, need to pay for a travel voucher when they already have access to a bus pass?

The travel voucher will come in handy for Senior Citizens when the Tories get into power and axe free bus passes and introduce a subsidised scheme to eliminate blatant overuse of public transport such as riding around on the buses all day.

Does anyone use the voucher for the train outside the zone at lancing?
We are only one station outside and it seems pretty pointless buying a ticket for one station.
