TRAINS TO CALL AT FALMER STATION THIS EVENING
We are pleased to report that Southern trains will now be calling at Falmer station after 5pm today. Southern has been working hard behind the scenes today in an effort to resource additional trains to get Brighton and Hove fans to and from the game this evening.
Trains will call at Falmer station from 5pm tonight with around a 10 minute frequency until around 11pm. The normal train service will operate, supplemented by special trains operating between Brighton and Lewes.

All this last minute stuff is bloody annoying (said the bloke who bought a coach ticket). "Will they, won't they?" bollocks.
Given Southern now say trains are running, you've got a reasonable shot. National Rail says last train at 00:10 is running, so you've got plenty of leeway too.
Not from Newhaven presumably.
Alas, the Seaford branch is still all buses according to National Rail. I think Southern are just changing the Brighton to Lewes route, it's no shift in the emergency/revised timetable.
It said yesterday on the club website that all parking spaces and seats were booked, I believe.
But the buses aren't mentioned on Nat Rail either?
If you look from Lewes to Newhaven it will show up as the replacement bus service running. I don't think you can look at the best connection from Falmer, as (I don't believe) the shuttles are on there yet (and probably won't be). You will have to take it on faith that Southern will actually run these shuttles every ten minutes and just connect to the next bus from Lewes to Newhaven.
Ahh I am mystic peg!

But what is the normal train service.
Is this the strike timetable, the emergency timetable with 340 odd trains light or the full timetable
I'm not sure Southern currently have a normal timetable.

I would think 'ten minute frequency' is the part you're looking for!

on Journey Planner it says there there are no trains from Burgess Hill to Falmer between 16:35 and 21:47??
Probably. If not you can change at Lewes, so that's something? Southern really are a mysterious bunch aren't they?

I'm going to risk something now and offer congratulations to whoever it is who has managed to sort out a sensible solution to tonight's crisis.
I presume the Club is still lumbered with the costs of hiring in all those extra buses, though.

Look to Brighton. The fact Southern have re-opened Falmer has not been reflected yet. You should be able to catch a shuttle service from Brighton to Falmer according to Southern. The shuttle services are running every 10 minutes, so you will likely have plenty of options once you get to Brighton.
