July's Second Ramble Joining Information

OK guys, this one's really tough. I've checked all possibilities and 1/ I'd still like to do the walk from Berwick station to the Plough via the Yew Tree; 2/ those of us from Seaford, Bishopstone and Newhaven will have no choice but to climb on board a bus as there are no suitably timed trains.

The bus leaves Seaford station at 09:30. Unfortunately I can't find the expected arrival times at Bishopstone or Newhaven Town, but the bus is due to arrive at Lewes station at 09:58 and the one and only suitable train to Berwick (without first going to Polegate and back) is still the 10:09 from platform 3, arriving at Berwick at 10:20 hrs.

Harry? Can you please meet us on platform 3 as there won't be any time to go to the Runaway?

The journey back from Berwick station is even harder, with just about every train being replaced by a bus. There is a train at 17:20 but that goes the other way to Polegate first. Eventual ETA in Seaford is an hour later at 18:20. There is just one train that ensures a stress-free journey and that is the 18:17 from Berwick, arriving in Lewes at 18:28 and which connects with the 18:38 to Seaford, arriving there at 18:55 hrs. As this is the height of summer, hopefully this later-than-normal finish shouldn't be too bothersome?

There is, of course a way round all this uninvited clag simply by driving to the Berwick Inn and watching the alcohol consumption!!! Ho ho ho

Let's hope it's a good turn out in spite of Southern Rail.
