[Help] Quickest way of getting from Brighton station to the Brighton Centre

[kevo]

Am I the only one who thinks it strange that a Brighton fan has asked the quickest way to get to the Brighton Centre from Brighton Station

I can only assume the OP isn’t from Brighton ??

Perhaps 'Perry's tracksuit bottoms' is one of our new Ivorian or Japanese fans with a strange affinity for Mr Digweed.

Anyone remember when we played Southampton at The Brighton Centre?

I've been going to the Brighton Centre since 1993 but I've never wanted/needed to get there in a matter of seconds

One for each leg?

Once at Brighton station you could get the 7 to George Street, then swap to the Hollingbury 5B which will drop you right outside Churchill Square, and from there you can probably run/jog to the seaford in under 3 minutes.

That seems very fast

You could take the Brighton & Hove Underground

Take the red line direct to BC 5 stops

You could try one of these:

Monorail

No buses go all the way there. Taxi would have to go round a long route.

If I was in a mega hurry I'd use a hire bike. Other than then just have a little jog down the hill. You won't fancy slowing down to admire any views

Views down Queens Road . . . are there any?

 

[John Byrnes Mullet]

Get one of those awful looking hire bikes.

Don't judge me but.......

In the days when the taxi rank was still out the front of the station, I once got a cab to the grand hotel. (It was heavily raining and I was in a dinner jacket having got changed at work before getting the train).

The taxi driver, assuming I was a 'down from london' type tried to go via western road and preston street. Partly I suspect to extend the fare. But also seemingly to point out a couple of brothels should I be interested. Im not sure what that says about his perception of me?

I'm going to a thing at the Brighton Centre next week, but I need to be in London during the day and my train back might arrive a little after the event has started.

So... what's the quickest way of getting there?

Now the main taxi rank is round the back of the station I suspect I'd be delaying myself even more by heading for that. But is there somewhere nearer the front I could pick up a taxi? Could I get an uber (I've never got an uber before)?

Or should I just run?

Just run down Queens Road. Or as I call it - 'do the junky slalom'

And were they any good?

Fortunately you can no longer be distracted by the glass animal shop, it's long gone.

Neither.

As you come out of the Station front entrance , on your left there is a Budgeon’s supermarket. Go inside and grab one of these.

Point it toward the sea and jump in. Roll straight down Queen’s Road across North Street and down West Street (it’s a decent downhill gradient so by this time you’ll have picked up a respectable speed). As you reach the beach, your vehicle will come to a natural stop and the Brighton Centre will be just over the road on your left standing with your back to the sea.

Good luck.
