You know there are like 2 other sticky threads on this yeah?

[MENTION=561]Insider[/MENTION] is club official spokesperson, so yeah, WELL worth making a sticky.

Oh, and [MENTION=561]Insider[/MENTION], probably worth doing an equivalent post on timings (last buses, no trains etc.) for getting home from the game, as well as getting to the game, as this will be equally important, and probably far more important for most people to know. Cheers.

Not from Brighton Station. My advice would be to walk down to Churchill Square or St Peter's Church and catch a 25 or 28/29.

As far as I understand the plan, trains will be running from Brighton to Lewes, but they won't be stopping at Falmer.

Thank you. Might have helped alleviate the situation slightly by having rail replacement buses rather than us overwhelming the already under pressure bus network.

That would involve #SouthernFail having consideration for their Customers.

Assuming that's not covered under the subsidised travel? How much is a bus return now?

The Club has probably already booked every spare bus available anywhere within driving distance of Brighton, so there are none available at short notice to the train company.

49's as well if you don't mind the walk up from Moulsecoomb, may be less busy than the 25/28/29's

The buses you quote are certainly covered by the subsidised travel. For info - not that you'll need it as it's covered by subsidised travel - bus prices are £2.50 single, £5 return (or £5 for an all day ticket that let's you travel/transfer between red'n'yellow buses all day)

You have not been charged for this information as it's covered by the subsidised travel

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Assuming that's not covered under the subsidised travel? How much is a bus return now?

Use of the 25, 28 or 29 buses IS included in the subsidised travel scheme. And the 49s.

If you can manage the walk from Coldean Lane, the 24s are also available.

Buses from Lewes station to Falmer before and after the game > Trains running on pre strike timetable from Lewes

Your match ticket is valid for travel on all Brighton Buses

Yes please [MENTION=561]Insider[/MENTION]. Planning to stay for a beer or 2 after the match to let the queues go down, but would be useful to know what time P&R stops

... But the trains from Lewes will not stop at Falmer.

I have just heard from Bexhill station that the only way back to Eastbourne and beyond is to take the train? to Brighton travel to Haywards Heath and change to the Victoria Line train.

This whole thing is getting very confusing, looks like the TV then!!!!

Will the Brighton to Lewes trains be stopping at Moulsecoomb? Surely an option.

The staff at Bexhill station probably don't know that the Club have organised a post-match shuttle bus service from the stadium to Lewes that will connect you into the Lewes - Bexhill train service.
