Chaos at Lewes then
It will be chaos everywhere!
I honestly don't think anyone is prepared for this, and most will believe it will be a normal match day service...

Good work! Utterly disgraceful though that it should be left up to individual fans to try and hassle some kind of meaningful information out of these freaks 48 hours before kick-off.
Time to overload PB with moans and get him to Kick-Ass?

Everyone coming from the East except Seaford will have to get off and wait at Lewes including those who live in Lewes with just 2 trains an hour to get them to the game.
Half empty stadium then come kick off.

I've directly asked the Transport Manager on twitter as well. No reply. Paul Barber would've sent me a 2 page email by now.

Just got a tweet back from Southern:
Additional carriages to those services & additional services from Brighton to Lewes services have also been arranged.

Ive done the same. Perhaps if we all ask the question directly it will produce a reaction.

My guess is that three weeks is too short notice. Still, it seems insane if nothing is done.
Edit: Something has been done.
I was confused by the "being Sunday" part of this tweet, but maybe that's me being thick. Great news though that it's been sorted.

You'd think the guy they have monitoring their Twitter feed would actually have half a clue what he's talking about.
Jesus.

Aren't the Albion supposed to have a Transport Manager or something? Where's that tw*t when you need him?

He's busy on twitter announcing that it will be the best ever train service seen at Falmer, only he forgot to tell anybody other than his followers...

- @SouthernRailUK Not one single train stopping at Falmer from Eastbourne on Sunday? Everyone change at Lewes for Arsenal game? this correct?

@SouthernRailUK You do know the platform wont be big enough for all those people waiting for a 4 coach Seaford train? #chaos

I'd posted the same tweets. They are poorly worded at best. He answers "yes" to an either or question and I don't understand the "being Sunday" wording either. Hence I asked him a straighter question.

Why they're cramming everyone onto Lewes platform then letting the East Coastway train continue and run straight through Falmer is baffling.

Ah, right, perhaps one of his half dozen followers could tell him he's a shitferbrains for not sharing it with the other 30,000 people who might express some kind of interest in the transport arrangements for Sunday

As is normal, PB is straight on the case.
What I find odd is that clearly the club has assumed, that we would all assume it is a normal match day service. (to be fair I assumed it would be until today).
Why in summary on the club website under Travel in the Pre-Match Brief they couldn't just state: 'normal match day trains will be in operation' is a little beyond me.
Anyhow, it does appear that all will be well on the rails...
Thank you for your e-mail.
Our detailed pre-match brief for non 1901 members doesn’t go out until around 7pm this evening. As usual, this will be sent out by e-mail to all supporters opted in to our e-mail service. It will include train information. Our current pre-match brief website story, which is an edited form of the e-mail, will also be updated later to include latest travel information.
However, we wouldn’t have highlighted train services as an issue in either bulletin as a normal match day train service will be in operation. This service has coped with a 30,000 crowd previously – and several attendances close to this level since the Amex opened. We have already advised supporters to arrive at the stadium early as we expect all modes of transport to be busy.
Unfortunately, we cannot control Southern Rail’s website or any information they would put out but we’ll certainly alert our transport manager to your comments.
Regards, Paul
