I got the 9.08 from Haywards Heath to Victoria this morning and although pretty busy, i got a seat. And it arrived at Victoria only about 5-10 mins late.
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
*TRAIN NEWS* Brighton main line closed tomorrow
- Thread starter Ernest
- Start date
That's made me wonder what the impact of having a couple of services starting from HH on a regular basis might be. Be good for HH commuters, and would it make things slightly better for others further up and down the line?
No idea. Not an expert in these matters at all.

So will the park and rides or buses let you use already purchased rail tickets

Ernest - I presume it's impossible to say, but do you reckon these arrangements will be on-going for a number of days, if not the whole week ? More rain due on Thurs, I see.

No.
Reduced service via Falmer SHOULD mean more coaches on all the services that do actually run, trains from London will have 12 coaches, though only 8 will open at Falmer, minimum of 6 coaches all round then.
Take the service Ernest said and change at Brighton for Shoreham. For Durrington, via Barnham might be best.

I would think, get the 42 and then a coast-way service from Brighton. Be interesting to know how long that takes.
Is that right? On the Southern site it says:
"In the evening peak the 16.57 and 17.42 London Bridge to Littlehampton services will be diverted after Three Bridges to call at Horsham, Arundel and Littlehampton"
I think I'll be getting the 17.23 to Lewes and queue for a Falmer train there.

That was my guess, but the earlier they make the call, the more time people have to plan.

I was going to get in to Brighton for 18.22. Is this going to be enough time to get to the ground or is it likely to be chaos trying to get a Falmer-bound train?
Says the 17:23 is cancelled on Nat Rail but not sure what to trust on there as not updated
Oh FFS, it didn't say that half-an-hour ago!
EDIT: Still says it's going to Lewes

Interesting , what site you using ?
National Rail. If you put in London Bridge to Brighton it says it's cancelled but that's just the second leg from Haywards Heath.

Apparently according to a Southern member of staff this is all due to the recent widening of the A23 causing the Wellesbourne to not run it's natural course.
