Seagull travel in an email to customers has told us;
"Things we are liaising with the club about are:
Continuing to get a firm agreement on how and when the coaches will depart onto the main access road
Painting white lines in the coach park with zoned walking areas
Introduce a visible numbering system to clearly define where your coach is located
Ensuring that all non Seagull Travel vehicles follow the same guidelines we have for our vehicles
Obtain clear instruction from the Club that Away coaches have preference to depart over Home coaches. This is something we are trying to implement as I know from my experience travelling Away, the need to leave promptly in order to get on the road and out of the way.
We have a plan to exit from the ground, this is being discussed in the coming weeks and requires the Club and Sussex Police clearance. This is:
Lane 1 = Exit from Bennett's Field
Lane 2 = Exit from Esporta and other car parks at the top of the ground
Lane 3 = Exit clear for Buses, Park and Ride and our coaches. The traffic would then be stopped at the traffic lights to let these go through.
Lane 4 = Lane will be coned off from the traffic lights to the university. This will mean anyone stopping to pick people up will have to go up to the roundabout and then join the traffic and wait!
As I have said, this is work in progress but I thought I would let you know that we are trying our best to improve the way we depart the ground."
