Trains for boxing day

[Bert365]

Does anyone know if there are trains running on boxing day for the football

 

[Woodchip]

No trains at all, from what I understand. Beachy/Ernest/Virgo's Haircut will be able to say for sure.

 

[Marty McFly]

Try looking for yourself.

Not quite but there's no trains to get anybody to the football.

Maybe all public services should close down.

Let's close the hospitals, Fire brigade and Police as well on Boxing day!

Have you ever been on duty at football Edna? How did (would) you cope with it? I'd love to see a police lady going nuts when we score.

 

[Beach Hut]

And even then they are diverted

 

[Zamora For England]

Tried to get to Pompey away last season on Boxing Day and ended up wasting a ticket... Driving this year.

I think you'll find that the main reason for the disruption to trains across the holiday period this year is that major engineering works are happening on the Brighton line.

It seems sensible to me to do this at a quiet time like Christmas, rather than when commuter traffic is at its highest.

It's called "giving priority to season ticket holders".

There are lots of buses though from the city centre. If you are going by car then I suggest you leave earlier than usual for the game.

Damned sensible if you ask me. I was supposed to be in the office 27th-29th, but because of the engineering works, I shall be "working from home"

Now I wonder if that could be used somewhere else
