Yep. I'm amazed people are discussing walking it back to town when buses are available. Walk through the underpass to Sussex Uni and jump on a 25 before it comes back past the Amex and Falmer Station and fills up.

Or walk to bottom of Coldean Lane and get the 24, or walk into Moulescomb and get the 49, or go to Falmer Village stop just before Amex and get 28/29.

Whilst per se I hate TV companies for messing about with the PL fixtures, the irony is if I cant get to the match, the Amazon Prime for a tenner or sign up cancel before renewal and at no cost (and many may have already Amazon Prime with Christmas stuff being ordered etc) become the saviour of not seeing the match at all. YEs its never quite the same but with Burnley around the corner and another Euro game (and personal work life etc etc I wont bore you with) I may have to take this in the chin! I don't think Ive ever hated a person Lynch and his mob more they are ruining lives and this will only backfire as e.g. more people work from home because of regular train disruption equals less revenue equals less investment equals less little lynches working!

Would you be in favour of Lynching Lynch? Should l start a poll?

You don't think you've EVER hated a person more than Lynch (who incidentally isn't responsible for this strike - having helped save the ticket offices and potentially got his members a no strings deal)? You might just want to think whether someone fighting for worker's rights is the best target for your hate even if you don't agree with him.

Between strikes, overtime bans, trespassers, engineering work, the general shitness of GTR and the way the queues are unimaginativly martialed; I can't think of a single match this season that hasn't involved some train related aggravation.

It'll be interesting to see what happens with the matchday travel scheme next season and the impact on ST prices. It's bad enough putting up with Southern on matchdays (when there are trains) as it is. The idea of paying them another, say, £150 a season for the dubious privilege of using their 'service' isn't a welcome one.

Mick Lynch leads the RMT who have settled their dispute with ticket offices now remaining open.

ASLEF union is striking next week and nothing to do with him.

Why don't we start a crowdfunding page to subsidise the wages of impoverished ASLEF train drivers ? Our contributions could lift them above the poverty line, and prevent them from relying upon food banks in order to survive.

I’m quite happy to chip in to help the train driver on 90 grand a year that is desperate to buy another property so he can become a buy to let landlord :rolleyes:
My heart bleeds for someone so desperate :facepalm: FFS
