Thought it would be best to post up about this in case you dont know about this.

Basically, workers for Network Rail (the people who run the rail network) have said they will be going on strike from Tuesday 6th April (6AM) to Friday 9th April (23.59).

This WILL affect ALL journeys by rail on these days so bear this is mind if you arrange a jam/training session on these days.

Please note there will be NO train services after 7PM every evening on the strike days so this would affect the Thursday gym session if you travel there by train. My advice would be to get there a different way (lift from a mate, beg a parent etc)

Emergency timetables havent been put online yet but when i see them i'll post them up.

Much love

Just discovered that there will be NO trains at all From Lewes, Eastbourne and Hastings on the strike days. There may be replacement bus services but the train company havent yet said. If you need to go towards London you have to use a normal bus service to Brighton and change there.

I strongly suggest not organising jams on the strike days, unless you are prepared to get people to spend ages on a bus.

Alternative ways are public bus services (Routes 98/99 between Eastbourne & Bexhill/Hastings or Eastbourne/Hastings local services) or just beg parents for lifts :)
