There is only a Premier league football match and a political conference going on in Brighton that day. Obvious choice to do some repairs.

Fun times

Well that's a fairly significantly sized kick in the knickers. I have to travel in from Portsmouth for this one, luckily it's the only time I'll ever have to say that phrase!

Anyone with experience of the rail replacements - are they generally quick along the coast?

I'm not normally one to speak for the rail industry but, in this case, you're being unfair. Rail works would have been decided about a year ago, well before a football match was arranged. And possibly before a conference was too (not sure of the timings of that).

Oh ffs

I would expect the 700 might be quicker as it won't be routing between stations but doubt it will be quick.

there is no excuse for the elfin shambles that is southern rail ....the trains are a vital part of the system , the fact that the upkeep of the lines has been left to rack and ruin is just another indication of how shit we have become at running things.

The Littlehampton ones will be running which makes it a little easier from Angmering etc although they will be crowded no doubt.

Littlehampton trains? Nope...

Network Rail is carrying out engineering work between Angmering and Brighton, closing all lines.

Great Western Railway

Buses will replace trains between Barnham and Brighton. Customers for the 21:46 Brighton to Portsmouth Harbour service, are advised to use Southern's replacement bus service between Brighton and Barnham, and Southern's rail service from Barnham to Portsmouth Harbour.

Southern

Buses will replace trains between Littlehampton and Brighton.

Southern rail don't carry out the works or plan them. National rail do

Presumably could go from Portsmouth/Littlehampton to Gatwick or Three Bridges and then back down to Brighton ? Poss quicker than the replacement buses.
