From: Adastra [mailto:adastra-boun...@lists.sxbrc.org.uk] On Behalf Of Peter Hodge Sent: Thursday, January 19, 2017 20:55 To: Adastra discussion group Subject: Re: [Adastra] Getting to the 2017 Adastra Recorders Seminar Thanks very much for alerting me Chris, you are quite right. I knew the No. 40x didn't run on Saturdays and I must have presumed this also applied to the No. 40. What I didn't know is the "current" Brighton & Hove "Bus Times magazine - Autumn 2016 to Spring 2017" for the No. 40 route is incorrect and Compass Buses amended virtually every departure time as from 9th Jan 2017 - so travellers on the No.40 route BEWARE! Back to the Adastra Seminar, there is a No. 40 bus that works nicely that connects with the 270 in Haywards Heath (The 270 is the only route that goes anywhere near the college on a Saturday). Note that the Haywards Heath circular town bus No.30 runs too far to the north of the college to be worth considering. BUS ROUTE FROM BRIGHTON TO HAYWARDS HEATH 40 Brighton Old Steine (Stop D) Dep. 08:10 Haywards Heath Perrymount Rd. Arr. 09:08 270 Haywards Heath Perrymount Rd. Dep. 09:18 Lindfield opp West Common Drive Arr. 09:21 >From Perrymount Road to Oathall Comunity College is about 1 mile's walk, OK if >it's not raining! One good thing resulting from this discussion is that there are likely to be others who weren't aware that all No. 40 bus times have recently been changed by Compass!

It used to be possible to catch a No. 40 bus from Brighton to Hassocks Stone Pound and walk to the Adastra Hall before the 10:00am start time. I have searched every bus timetable and there is not a single bus leaving Brighton that arrives at Haywards Heath before 10:00 am. BUT..... There is a way..... >From Brighton catch No. 29 Tunbridge Wells bus, leaving Brighton Churchill Square at 05:52am, arriving at Tunbridge Wells station at 07:15am (be aware that the 29 is limited stop as far as Falmer). >From Tunbridge Wells station (Stop U) take the No. 291 Crawley bus, leaving T. Wells at 07:29am. Get off at East Grinstead War Memorial (Stop J), arriving at 08:11am. (It is also possible to change at Forest Row (o/s Brambletye) if the 291 is late, but Metrobus services generally keep good time). >From East Grinstead War Memorial (Stop H) take the No. 270 Brighton bus, leaving at 08:23am. This passes through Forest Row (opposite Brambletye) at 08:32am and continues via Lindfield and Haywards Heath to Brighton. Get off at the "Lindfield Adj West Common Drive" stop, arriving at 09:00am. From the nearby mini-roundabout walk down Appledore Gardens and Oathall Community College is just past the end of this road. I'm tempted to try this myself because the connections are good, but not too tight, and should work smoothly. The Brighton & Hove route No. 29 buses normally keep good time on Saturday mornings. .Peter Hodge. No virus found in this message.
