People coming to Brighton from the Midlands to attend conferences and trade shows and on holiday have three choices of travel.
By train to London and then Underground or bus to Victoria, by car round the congested M25 with nowhere to park when they arrive or a direct rail service.
One of these is the fairly recently-introduced train from Derby, stopping at Watford Junction, which Connex South Central now wishes
to terminate at Gatwick. Brighton needs more of these trains, not less, and I hope Brighton and Hove City Council will not allow this backward step to happen.
