Abort, retry, fail
As you will be aware, Southern is the operator of Falmer railway station and operates all train
services that use the station. We and Network Rail wrote to you jointly objecting to the proposed
variation of conditions application by Brighton & Hove Albion Football Club (“BHAFC”) in relation to
the American Express Community Stadium (“AMEX Stadium”) – we have now withdrawn this
objection.

We have had further discussions with BHAFC and have now reached agreement with respect to a
revised matchday charge to meet the significant additional cost to Southern from the additional
supporters expected to travel. This was one of the main points of concern we had previously raised.

Good, good.
As you may be aware further discussions are taking place between Network Rail and BHAFC
regarding some minor amendments to the platforms at Falmer Station including, increasing the
operable length of Platform 1 by clearance and stabilisation works, creating a second exit from
Platform 1 at the Brighton end and upgrading and extending the palisade fencing to stretch beyond
the Brighton end of Platform 1. Network Rail will require that these works are implemented as soon
as reasonably practical. In the meantime however it has been agreed between the Club and British
Transport Police that the additional supporters using the rail services can be managed until such
time as the works are complete and on this basis we will not be objecting to the application to
increase the capacity of the American Express Community Stadium.
