Not sure, probably depends on whether they have train crew. Brighton - Littlehampton services are running though.

NRE wont be updated for sometime, probably not at all, since its a case of running what is possible.

Brighton - Lewes shuttles resuming from 5.30

Flying ! Yup, that's the solution.

 

[HawkTheSeagull]

Best advice - use B&H Buses, who STILL arent accepting train tickets and are being pretty stubborn with that.

Trains Brighton - Lewes AFTER 17.45 -

17.55 - Ore
18.02 - Seaford
18.38 - Seaford
18.51 - Eastbourne
19.08 - Seaford

PLUS whatever Brighton - Lewes shuttles actually run. Trains should have 6 coaches +

 

[El Presidente]

This wouldn't happen in Germany

Is that because they specialise in trains that only make single journeys rather than returns?

 

[HawkTheSeagull]

Brighton - Lewes shuttles to run at 19 and 49 minutes past each hour, system shows them as running non-stop though - if that happens, then Southern will be just shooting themselves in the head !!

All the trains have been 8 coaches this season. If you want to get out at Lewes, you make sure you're in the front 4.

Im on about the Brighton - Lewes shuttles which are normally 6-coaches, everything else has been 8 coaches - good to see extra coaches being used though.

1919 additional Bton to Falmer

 

[worthingseagull123]

2 hours 50 minutes to get from Croydon to Durrington, and 3 trains.

What a wonderful transport infrastructure we have. The £5 delay repay vouchers are so generous in compensation.

 

[Richy_Seagull]

Absolute, ****ing, shambles.

To those moaning, please state how you can move from an emergency timetable to a normal service halfway through the day when you dont have staff available ?
