Does anyone know why the gateline works that were scheduled for Christmas 2022 never materialised? Has a new date been proposed? Hopefully not delayed for another year!

What would be good would be for the Amex Community Stadium (Brighton & Hove Albion FC) to buy a few of these pigs, rip out all the seats, except for maybe one coach, and run a decent shuttle from Brighton to Falmer on match days. Brighton is a nightmare coastway-east on matchdays! :lol:
