Couldn’t fault the excellent service on the Brighton Line
I had occasion to use it on Tuesday 19th February to attend a meeting in London. Albeit that I travelled outside both rush hours, I couldn’t have asked for a better service. The bus I travelled on to Three Bridges was fairly crowded but people were, for the most part, talking to each other – something not often seen on the train.
I walk with crutches and was helped from the moment I got off the bus to being settled comfortably on the train. Again, returning in the afternoon, I was helped all the way to the waiting area sited in the marquee and not only given a hot drink (staff were giving vouchers out) but asked if I would like a cookie to go with it. I was then helped on to the bus, which I had all to myself on a fast service back to Haywards Heath.

I appreciate that it must have been a lot worse in the rush hour with long waits for buses but I really couldn’t fault it and have passed my thanks on to the “On Track,” the recruitment agency covering the staffing.
