Park and ride: what's the best one to get?

[The Large One]

Quicker than waiting for the Mithras P&R?

No idea. I've never taken the P&R bus back.

There may be a queue for the buses immediately after the game but, like the trains, give it half an hour - it's a doddle.

My routine is I've always hung around after the game, so I don't know what the experience of leaving immediately is. However, when I do leave, either the trains or the buses are queue-free, and so easy to consider.

There's nothing to stop you using the 23, 25, 28 or 29 to travel to the stadium and the Mithras P&R bus to leave.

Indeed. Although depending what time a person arrives at Mithras on the way to the ground the general service buses mentioned may not stop due to being full. Something to bear in mind.

As I said, I have seen empty buses waiting at Falmer station.

i use racecourse.on saturdays get there 2o/c and at ground by about half past.usually plenty of buses for return journey and back to p and r in half hour.allow bit extra for evenings as fans tend to arrive at same time, not staggered as on saturdays.thought mithras was only for disabled now and cockcroft for all others?

All depends on how Brighton and Hove run a service, ive been back at Mithras House 15 minutes after FT before (not leaving early) but I have also had to wait an hour for a 25 that would actually stop to turn up.

Having just read this thread, are there buses available to get back to Brighton rail station that would be a better option than waiting in the large herd to get on a train after the final whistle?

No, generally Old Steine only - though you could just walk up North Road.

Far easier to get off at St Peters Church and walk up to the station.

or change buses at The Old Steyne there are a number that go to the station.

That is the quickest up Trafalgar St if you don't mind the walk uphill

and are still young enough to do it in a reasonable time without stopping for half a dozen breathers.

You have obviously watched me going that way
