Hmm. I checked on the web before I sent my post, too. Either my mental arithmetic was way off, or the site had the wrong info (or maybe there's track maintenance). The trains I went on averaged about 50km/h due to all the stopping. It took two hours to get from Bognor to London and thats a pretty similar distance to Brighton, I think. Two hours doesn't feel that bad when your feet ache after a weekend of wandering... Cheers, - Dave http://www.digistar.com/~dmann/
