[Travel] Trains after a match

[pasty]

Looking for advice from people who use trains after a match. Got a birthday meal to go to in Gars at 6pm on the day of the Coventry match. Will I need to incur the wrath of many on NSC by leaving early or will I still make it if I stay to final whistle? I'm in WSU so right side of ground for the station.

WSU? I hope they open the upper tier otherwise it’s going to be pretty lonely

Just be on your toes at full time and walk quickly, very quickly. I've never waited more than 35 minutes in the train queue, from a starting point similar to yours.

We are WSU and for the first time in ages leaving on the final whistle yesterday did not make the 17:16 but got the 17:23 you will make 18:00 easily

Oh yeah, forgot I'm not in my ST seat, I'm in ESL for this one

Just leave a few minutes early for peace of mind

We had TWO pints after the game yesterday and my son FAFFED with his gloves and programme and made the 17.53 and got a seat right at the front. The 17.45 is normally a cert after one pint. Leave immediately and you'll have no worries

You will make it easily now Southern have improved their act. At the worst you’ll only miss out on a starter.

You missed the emoji required to show sarcasm.

Yesterday they again ran the six car trains rather than eight which is made worse pre-match as the six car ones were the stopper that only serves to frustrate those at London Road and Moulescoomb. They also seem to have abandoned the sensible loading at Brighton station where they had multiple stewards opening the gates within the 'snake'.

Where loads of people left early again yesterday - mainly visiting fans - didn't bother queuing for the train as the queue was back past the no alcohol line so walked down the Lewes Road and picked up a bus part way. Was still in Brewdog before 6pm.

I walk into town after some games. You only have to wait for your legs.

If you're going to Gars, get the 25 or 28 bus on the A27 by Falmer Station. You can then jump off at Old Steine or North Street - it's much closer than Brighton Station.

I walked back to Brighton station once. One hour 50 minutes! Don't do it.

Leave on 80 minutes, Coventry will be safely through to round 6 by then.

You'll then have time for a quick pint in the Railway.

LOL. I ran to the stadium from Burgess Hill in less than that

As far as I am concerned, it has never really been a problem. I am in WSU and always make the third train out at 17:26 and have never missed the 17:48 Gatwick Express back to London.

 

[BBassic]

I left after the game finished and the players had left the pitch and managed to be back at Brighton station just before 6pm. Don't think you'll have any trouble

Weren't you arrested walking down the railway line?

It takes me 1 hour 30m, but maybe you took a funny route

If they don't open the upper tiers, you should easily make the first train after The Early Leaver Express. The trains can° cope with sub-20k actual attendance.More than 20k? Not so much.
