Mark Dain [2/2] I was there for a few hours and having such a nice time that I ended up leaving far too late. I caught the second-to-last London Victoria to Brighton train (there were none going to Eastbourne by that time). I got into Brighton just after midnight so there were no trains for me to catch from there so I was forced to get a taxi costing PS70 to get home! As I was getting into the taxi I saw the arrivals board, the very last London Victoria train for 1 AM was *cancelled* (due to lack of staff). If I left 5 minutes later I would have gotten stuck in London rather than Brighton. So glad I didn't get that fucked over.

Eric The taxis here in Brighton are absolute rip-offs. I try and avoid them completely. Thank goodness you caught that train though! The issue of the trains is slowly starting to be raised in Government on a national level, pretty sure it was mentioned in PMQs the other day, it also got a fair going over on Radio 4s various political programmes. But with all the Brexit turmoil going on I'll doubt we'll see any progress soon
