Buses in Brighton

[davetrousers]

I am staying at the Brighton Travelodge (Preston Rd, not Seafront) this Saturday night. So I will be looking to use the bus service to get into the centre of Brighton. On the Travelodge website it says to use Bus 5/5A, so I have printed out the timetable for this. Now possibly a silly question, do you just pay the driver or do you buy a ticket in advance from a machine, can you get returns and if so is there any saving?

Also is there still the park and ride (for the Sunday) from the Football/Athletics stadium?

How much roughly do these cost?

Thanks for your help.

You pay the driver on the day, you can get an all day style ticket, and you can get to the footie ground by standard bus.

Have a look at www.buses.co.uk (http://www.buses.co.uk) for more information

It's not far from the Preston Road travelodge to the centre of town, I would say about 10-15 minutes walk. Another 5 minutes will get you to the seafront. Brighton is not a huge place and most of the 'amenities' are pretty centralised, so you might be better off walking.

I have no idea about cost of the buses but you just pay the driver when you get on board. Returns are available. I don't think the park and ride runs on Sunday though.

If you're staying in the Preston Road travelodge, then there's plenty of on-street free parking in the area. Beaconsfield Villas, Havelock Road, Preston Park Avenue etc. - all wide roads with no restrictions on parking.

Thanks, I don't want to get to the footy ground as such, but they used to run a park and ride from there. So on the Sunday, after checking out of the Travelodge I would like to drive to the park and ride and use that to get into Brighton.
