[Misc] Trains

[kevo]

Not sure if posted elsewhere, but no trains today between Three Bridges and Lewes/Brighton. Replacement bus hell. Perfect timing seeing as we are playing a London club.

As long as the KO isn't delayed.....

This is what the club's matchday email said this morning

 

[beorhthelm]

that delay is +1hr for the London to Brighton

I don't get why they can't plan 'improvement' works for weekends when we're not playing at home.

Bet the work is planned many months before fixtures are known (even without them being moved 4/5 weeks before they are played. @jackalbion ?

These works get planned many months in advance. Whereas our home games are at the short term whim of Sky and European competions

On a selfish basis I always find Falmer to Lewes and back again always works better when the Lewes to London line I'd closed

These are scheduled around a year in advance, Premier League fixtures aren't

I think the better question is why our home games can’t be scheduled for when trains are running rather than the other way round

We know the weekends when we are at home or away.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

The replacement bus is also stopping at all stations.

90 minute journey 3 bridges to brighton.

Deep joy...

Do we? Do we always start the season at home, for instance?

I mean after the fixtures are out.

I mean after the fixtures are out.

These are planned works from about a year. I share your frustration but on this occasion it’s one of those things.

 

[A1X]

Heads up to anyone leaving by train going west

 

[mile oak]

I dont get why the works seem to be constantly required every year? Am.i missing something?

Uhhhh...maintenance, perhaps ?

For those who are able to*

Driving and parking @ Brighton station is the quickest solution. Left on FT whistle and back home by 7.10 (albeit would sooner have stayed out for a beer or two..!)

This one has been in the diary for two years, this was a Sunday only block, but Sky Sports make their decisions with only a few months out, well after all the machinery is booked to do the work. Unfortunate, but if Sky move everything to a Sunday thats something anyone can anticipate two years out.
