    Why don't you just go via London Bridge? Certainly don't have to book there.

    could do just that i am going straight after the game sat and the train from coventry comes into Euston so easier to go kings cross.

    Well even if you do have to book, I'm sure you can do it while you're there.

    But I see no reason why anyone would have to book a train to Brighton...

    Although it is the best place in England.

    You can buy just before you travel.

    which reminds me.

    4 times i have forked out for a ticket from London Bridge to Gatwick this year. Not one have i had to produce the ticket or go through any barriers etc.

    Anyone else found this ?

    Thameslinks - usually always no inspectors between Kings Cross and Croydon. You got about a 1 in 3 chance of getting caught from East Croydon to Brighton. About a 1 in 5 chance (much better option) on the Southern Express from Victoria . If you *do* make it, you'll have to then get a train to London Road or Aldrington/Portslade to get out (then get a bus) otherwise they'll do you at the barriers ;-)
