Train: good local train services are available, with trains to the main university campuses running every 15 minutes. There are also trains running along the coast, eastward to Ashford, making connections with cross-channel services; and running westward, as well, to Portsmouth. Taxi: taxis are plentiful here, but are more expensive than in most other destinations in England. You’ll also find that service is even costlier on Fridays and Saturdays after midnight, when a hefty surcharge is imposed. The city’s main taxi ranks are found at East Street, near the ‘Lanes’ and also at the main train station. Bus: Brighton and Hove are serviced by a well-run, extensive bus network. Service is frequent in Brighton centre, and you’ll find real-time bus information provided at most major stops. The Brighton and Hove Bus and Coach Company is the major operator. They charge a flat fare for single journeys and a discounted rate for an all-day pass. An interesting point is that all buses in Brighton are named after celebrities and those who have made significant contributions to the improvement of life in Brighton. They operate on a schedule of every 5 to 15 minutes, depending on the time of day; and service is offered year-round. Single journey tickets are available, as are day passes; and prices are reduced for children under 10 years of age. |
