[News] Trains today

[Brighton Mackem]

Going to be a bad day on the trains today, landslip in the Burgess Hill area will impact for the rest of the day, diversions via Lewes.

 

[Billy Seagull]

That will cause a bit of chaos, particularly after the game I imagine.

 

[Skuller]

But they’ve put on a load of long trains going through Falmer today apart from one four-carriage set on the Ore route.

 

[Timbo]

There's trains running through Hassocks at the moment, not many but a few.

 

[A mex eyecan]

Train Line showing a few earlier ones cancelled but disruptions all day. Lewes going to be a nightmare I guess.

Ollocks to that lot, just managed to grab a couple of seats on Seagull Travel.

Looks like the Gatwick Express services aren’t running beyond The airport, but Thameslink are serving Brighton

Hopefully platform staff will be briefed to ensure the trains from Falmer going towards Lewes are properly filled for a change, rather than leaving half empty like they usually do

2 Thameslink an hour are allowed through, not sure how long it will take, but doesn’t look catastrophic.

It is if you have to sit on a Thameslink train for longer than 30 mins.

The companies are not giving great information atm

What have they got against trays?

Numb bum time. Comfort of seats, (or lack of), when travelling long distance apart, l really do love the class 700 trains that operate Thameslink services, great people movers and a smooth ride.

You think they will find common sense all of a sudden

Indeed, me thinks the poster was being mega optimistic.

They are meant for short journeys, not 1h+ distances. There are no passenger comforts at all, appalling trains. No arm rests, no trays, no padding.

Said it before but they’d be much better at clearing the Falmer queues than the 377/387s are

4 (four) carriages on the West Coast - joyous.
