Public transport
The use of the stadium has had a substantial impact on transport links to Falmer and on access to the Sussex campus. It is vital that there is proper infrastructure, most importantly effective transport links, to support it and to minimise any impact on the Sussex campus.
The University worked hard to ensure that the bus and train operators maintain access to regular public transport at times when the stadium is in use for those who live on and use the University's campus.
On match days, normal train services to and from Falmer operate before the match. After each match there are extra trains from Falmer to Lewes and to Brighton.
Measures include a footbridge over the railway line (which opened in 2011, giving full disability access to both sides of the track), and waiting areas, so that stewards can control the flow of fans on to the station after the match.
The bus company runs its standard service on match days - and these buses come onto campus as normal. Additional buses are laid on for football fans travelling to and from matches; these can also be used by any other passengers and drop passengers off at the entrance to campus.
The development included a bus and coach drop-off area at the stadium and a number of modifications to road and pedestrian pathways in the area.
