You have just thwarted my attempt to use the 2142 Gatwick Express service to Brighton...:rolleyes:

Usually you're very much against going to Brighton :lol:

We then take the 2357 South Western Railway 2C75 service to Earley arriving at 0004 early on Saturday morning.

Paul is seemingly quite disappointed we didn't make it to Brighton, so perhaps we can attempt to return by stopping off overnight and boarding the 0547 South Western Railway service 2C10 to Clapham Junction, arriving there at 0653 on Saturday morning.

Shimmy on over to platform 13 for the 0702 service and there you go! ;)

There's a National Express stop down the road, looks like our best chance of finding a service at this time on a Saturday :).
