Travel to Brighton

Car, Bus or Train…..the choice is yours

I love Brighton. It’s unique, weird, quirky and fun. It’s also quite noisy, so I’m also pleased to come home at the end of the day.

By Car

 When we go in, we usually drive and park at the Churchill Square car park in the centre of town, but you have to go early to get a space. It’s also, not cheap (e.g: Prices at May 18 are £15 for 6 hours). Please see the map below, and follow the signs from the seafront at Brighton.

By Train

However, other members of my family prefer to take the train because its quicker and you know that it should only take just over half an hour. From Kittiwakes, Seaford rail station is so close that this might be the best option for you. An off-peak day return to Brighton is around £5 for an adult. Ask about family tickets too.

Check www.nationalrail.co.uk for up-to-date information on prices and times, but direct trains usually run from Seaford around the hour and half past the hour. Get there a few minutes early if you would like to buy the ticket at the station as there is only one serving desk.

By Bus

You can also travel by bus. The best stop is probably the one opposite the library as all buses stop there, including the 12X limited stop bus. It’s a nice ride along by the cliffs, but in busy times can be very slow. The bus lanes help in places. Buses to Brighton run approximately every 10 minutes. The numbers to look out for are 12, 12A and 12X. On Sundays there is a 13X running (but no 12X). If you want to start your visit in Brighton at the Seafront, ask for the Old Steine stop. If you want to start with shopping or a coffee, carry on a few more minutes to Churchill Square.
