New Forest to The Amex advice

[BensGrandad]

I would like some advice from people who do this route often as to which ios the best. I shall be in The New Forest and travelling back for the Sheff Wed evening game which is the bet route:

1. Park and Ride Mill Rd
2. Park at a station en route like Worthing or Shoreham or even Hove
3. Other park and ride sites
4. Park in Brighton and jump on the bus

All sensible advice would be appreciated as obviously I want to get back to The New Forest as soon as possible after the game and 3 more points but not on my license.

Well as someone who uses the train from Portslade I would advise giving it a miss on an evening kick off. The unpredictability of the crowd and number of trains at Brighton Station mean you can either sail through or miss kick off regardless of which time you approach it.

I take the bus for evening kick offs. So Option 4 if you can afford the parking fees.

If you are doing park and ride suggest Mirthras House as Mill Hill gets full very early and you can easily get to the by-pass via Ditchling Road going home.

 

[BensGrandad]

What kind of time do you mean as very early as I have all day to get there it is the return that I am more concerned about. There is also the possibility of stopping at Withdean and having a carvey then getting the 27 bus to Brighton station but not sure about the journey back.

The best P & R is the race hill, i use it every week & is very good.

 

[Mackenzie]

There is a cheap car park at Norton Road in Hove, just round the corner from Palmeira Square. Catch the 25 bus from Palmeira Square to the stadium (they run every 10 minutes, to and from the stadium). Either that or Mithras House P&R, always has space.

or park in Coldean.

Yes, but it's the worst one to get to from the A27

assuming you come along the A27 was this Saturday an exception or are there always delays? When travelling from Somerset it's 100 miles or so less in total than going M5/M4.M25/M23 but it was much slower (nearly 5 hours for the Barnsley game compared to a normal 4 hours going the long way round.

I use Bridge car park by the way - easy access and no problem at all getting out after the game

Which part of Somerset are you travelling from?

I'd suggest giving the A272 / A283 a go from the M3/A34 junction. Fantastic countryside and never a hold-up when I drive that way. It's not quick, but it's consistent and avoids Chichester, Arundel and Worthing snarl ups.

tesco car park hove,two minutes and you are in the george street witherspoons,short walk to pal square jump on the 25 up to the uni

 

[BensGrandad]

[Return of the Rev]

[Bob!]

They sell other drinks as well, and food, apparently.

 

[BensGrandad]

company?

I will have company on the journey and am going to watch a football match and want to get from A to B and back again as quick as possible.

 

[Return of the Rev]

i will have company on the journey and am going to watch a football match and want to get from a to b and back again as quick as possible.

So you are in the new forest and you want to go to a then b then back again without going to a witherspoons,and you already have company
Give me a few minutes and i'll see what i can do for you

 

[BensGrandad]

I could make a suggestion but I don't swear on line.
