[Albion] Trains for the Burnley game on Saturday

[Thunder Bolt]

Due to Industrial action, there will be disruption to the train service with only two trains running every hour into Falmer this Saturday, as we face Burnley, kick off 3pm.

Engineering work are also taking place between Brighton and Littlehampton, closing various lines. A limited bus service will replace trains between Brighton and Littlehampton.

I don’t get this. The travel planner from National Rail shows four trains an hour going each way through Falmer, and it says it’s accurate including allowances for overtime ban. The only things not running are the Lewes to Brighton shuttles.

There are 2 trains an hour showing from Eastbourne/ Polegate, not 4.

Exactly what I've just said, in the post you quoted. 2 to Eastbourne, 2 to Seaford, 4 to Falmer.

Great picture of ground looking towards Lewes. County Hall in middle and Lewes Golf Course with Clubhouse top right above chalk Cliffs.

Thanks. I can get to Eastbourne Ok but the planner then shows nothing on to Hastings, so car it is. The last connection to Hastings leaves Lewes about 4.30, so I could go at half time . . .

Maybe you should tell the club as that is copied and pasted from the official page? They can correct it.

Correct, its a rubbish service beyond the Brighton to Eastbourne section but its what they've gone with in the end. This isn't actually a strike either this is an overtime ban, so this is on Southern really.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Getting really fed up with these striking train gadgies sodding around with matchday travel.

 

[Stat Brother]

It was always going to be a 'park and cycle' day anyway, the easiest and most convenient way to get to Falmer.

 

[Terry Butcher Tribute Act]

The club website doesn't mention the reduced/early stop of trains back to London / all stations after the game

Reckon the pubs around the station would agree with you.

Was in the Albert yesterday afternoon and it was dead so had a wonder up to the Evening Star for a couple. Aside from a few Brentford fans that was also dead. So walked back down to the Albert an hour or so later expecting it to be full of at least the post work crowd....nope still dead. Bell and Grand Central also looked empty. Hardly anyone in the Nelson as I walked down the hill to the bus.

Albert had to pay for doorstaff as well.

How is this ‘on Southern’? It’s industrial action by ASLEF.

I hope the staff and players appreciate why the Amex was a quarter empty last night and could well be again on Saturday? It’s not them, it’s these f***ing greedy train drivers.

Because every other operator is running a normal service, as they have enough drivers to cover a base service without overtime. I don't disagree that the drivers have contributed massively to this one, but you have to ask the question why other operators are running a full service (for example Southeastern).

Looks horrific west coast.

700 bus looks the only option

It does explicitly tell you to check the Southern website before travelling and includes a link though

If there are four eight carriage trains an hour going through Falmer it’d be better than the usual service with short trains. Is that “insider” information or can anyone find out how many carriages will be put on? It’d really help planning my departure from the ground.
