Only in this country - the trains

[Working class pride]

A sporting event with 17000 and the train companies dont plan for the need for extra trains, so people have to leave early. Not good enough, no excuses, just get it sorted out.

 

[Mackenzie]

That is pretty rubbish from the train company. Good communication from the club though.

 

[Lychpole]

I just heard the comment on 5L-is a poor effort on the trains

 

[darkcore1977]

Some people just love to moan.

 

[Woodchip]

Poor show by Southern. Not suprising though.

 

[Marc1901]

The club and southern know that it COULD of gone to ET and show have organised something before, ridiculous really.

 

[malcolmposkettspockets]

So will we have this problem at Wembley?

 

[Working class pride]

Its simple really, set the timetable to match the demand, not set a timetable and say tough. Shuttle trains for football days. They were told about this and done the usual, naff all. "No Use Rushing", nowt has changed

 

[Bold Seagull]

But tonight's services are okay locally, I think the announcement was for services further afield perhaps??

So trains tonight for those interested, departing Falmer for Brighton:
22.27 / 22.38 / 22.47 / 23.02 / 23.16 / 23.27 / 23.39 / 23.44

Falmer for Lewes:
22.28 / 22.34 / 22.44 / 22.53 / 23.16 / 23.34 / 23.44

 

[Foolg]

I'm confused, someone else just posted the train times from Falmer to Brighton and they continue until 23.44??

EDIT: As I say this the same info is posted above. ignore.

 

[Falkor]

Well why is it just Southern the club have a part to play, its not southerns ground its Brightons

Yeah, me, I got them off the National Rail Enquiries website. I'm thinking that the leave early must have been those for going further afield, last train to London Victoria is 22.28, although you can get to London Bridge on the 23.16.

Not sure there is any need for the doom merchants to start even before people are leaving!!

Who cares who's ground it is? The train company have thousands of customers that want to use their train. Only company in the world at the moment who doesnt seem to want the custom. Shuttle trains , get it sorted, no excuses.

Come on Albion

That seems perfectly acceptable.

I don't think it's just Southern, this happens a lot. I had to miss Pink Floyd at Live 8 a few years back because it overran and they announced there would be no extra coaches or trains running.

Makes sense now.
Is the last Victoria train usually that early? I'm sure they usually run later than that, at least i'm 99% i've got trains back much later than that from away games in London.

 

[Bold Seagull]

That seems perfectly acceptable.

To me as well. Can't believe there are people sat at home on here moaning about transport which hasn't even started yet! Bloody hell, we've just won 1 nil against a decent Prem side, and people are slating the transport before it's even started.

 

[Working class pride]

That seems perfectly acceptable.

Not if they cant get their connection afterwards. Joined up integrated transport system, yeah right

Loads of trains go and have a wank or f*** your misses over the kitchen table release the tension stop moaning we won .

You get some quirks in the timetable I suppose when the system has to give you 10mins for a change when in reality you probably can get a service at East Croydon to Victoria. To be honest, I was shocked there are so many services on so late tonight. Looks a good effort to me.
