    Booked Brighton, Eastbourne and Hastings. I would appreciate if you can suggest anywhere else it's worth going for a day's trip from London. :(

    Arundel, Chichester, Lewes, Rye, Littlehampton, Worthing?

    Seems you can only get London to the coast (etc) not for example Portsmouth to Brighton.

    Found a journey yesterday, but when I got to the payment screen it said the morning trip had sold out of seats, and I couldn't find any more. Tried to get on again today, and surprise surprise I cant get on. :( Pity as me and my mum were hoping to get to the V&A, natural history or science museum.
    A waist is a terrible thing to mind.

    Jesus the site is so incredibly slow after you click on buy advance. I can see this taking me forever to complete.

    Dreadful site, impossible to use.

    The graphics etc may look nice, but they take sooo long to load that you need a decent connection and computer with enough processing power to display them or else it takes agesss to load. Navigating from page to page is like wading through mud because of it.

    Why dont they just things pain and simple?. All I want to do is book, does anyone give a damn about the fancy grahics and state of the art booking system ? grrrr.

    The site's horribly overloaded. It's not usually anywhere near as bad as it's been during this promotion. The payment system also seems to be broken. I can't get my booking to go through even when I persevere through all the slowness - what a big waste of time!

    Got a pair of tickets to Hastings, and Hove.

    Trying to get a ticket to Eastbourne but think I will give up now.

    It is so slow, feel for the people who didn't get any tickets.

    ^^ Definitely a ticket and not just the reservation coupon that also looks like a ticket?

    Definitely a ticket, got the receipt too, still find it odd
