Multiple Train Cancellations to the Airshow
If you're planning to visit Eastbourne for the Airshow, don't bother taking the train as there are multiple cancellations today (probably until the whole of next week).
The only way from London is via Brighton, but there are no direct trains because of a "landslide" today.
Trains only go up Polegate, then you'll have to get a bus replacement to Eastbourne.
This goes either way so expect heavy queues in Polegate.
With the landslide plus the derailment the other day, the train also needs travel at less than 20mph to be "safe" - your usual 20min long journey will now take more than an hour.
There's are no air-conditioning on both bus and trains either, to comfort you during this grueling journey.
It would be much better and more comfortable to take an x bus instead.
Southern railway will also try to get your money and hook you into buying tickets by posting fake "dalayed" schedules on the boards - but don't be fooled!
In total, we ended up waiting 1.5hrs in Brighton for a train to show + 1.2hrs train journey + 20min bus ride.
Be sure to keep your tickets and claim for delay compensation of 100% for more tha 60min delays.
Stay safe everyone!
