Anyone got any tips? I’ll kick off - ‘Mary in the Junkyard’. I’ll be staggered if they don’t blow up. ‘Tuesday’ is one of the best debut singles ever.

Thanks for those - some like Big Special I’ve already seen live but had a listen to the rest and added O., Ugly and Bolis Pupul to my list 👍

Something to be wary of - some artists have already withdrawn and others I hear will follow because of objection to Barclays sponsorship and links to funding weapons for Israel. Similar to what happened at SXSW.

I'm only saying Chinchilla, me and my wife are traveling from Sweden just to se her! 

BTW, anyone wanna help us out.. Touching ground at stansted, but... Hm The train is like a fortune... Just to Brighton. Anyone else doing a similar trip? Share a Uber?

An uber would cost a far bigger fortune. Get the bus from stansted to save money. Then a train from london bridge isnt a lot.

Hey man, might be worth fare splitting if you can. Get a Stansted - Liverpool Street ticket, use your bank card to get to London Bridge/Victoria/Kings Cross and then get a train direct from there

Even cheaper is bank card from Liverpool St to East Croydon and then train. Most Brighton trains from London stop at East Croydon. But overall the saving from splitting is not huge compared to the cost of Stansted-Brighton. 

For future reference London Gatwick is convenient for Brighton and a much cheaper train fare. I am close to Stansted, the journey to Brighton by rail or road is long.

Thanks for all answers, when I was looking into the train from Google maps, it was like 90£ one way, excluding the bus, and the travel time set to 3h 

And the Uber was like 110£ and under 2 hours. 

 

We did this booking under influence in the middle of the night Haha

One way seems to be £48 on trainline.

Cheaper still going to Cambridge and getting train direct from there - I selected Wednesday and a single was £24.

 

A cab would not be cheaper or quicker unfortunately

Oh thanks going to look into that? U got any link to the website? 

[Pierrez]

Though we're two ppl who's traveling... A Uber seems to be 126£ and that's for the two of us 

So if it is 48+24, then it's cheaper with an uber, or am I getting it all wrong? 

[Ecclestone82]

£48 is Stansted to Brighton

£24 was Cambridge to Brighton - you'd need to get to Cambridge on that route - about £7 - all per person

 

Seems like you're wedded to a taxi - don't let me stop you - but I would get the train or if being economical a bus to Victoria and a train from there or East Croydon. 

 

I personally use Trainline but https://www.nationalrail.co.uk/ has all the train times (but will tell you the full price, trainline or trainsplit app will be cheaper)

[Pierrez]

Thanks for your help, trainline on the way home, but uber on the way down, touching ground at 15, and just want to go to the hotel! 🙂

 

Otherwise, anyone on here wanna make 100£ stanstead - Brighton 😁😊
