History


London Road station was designed by David Mocatta (the designer of Brighton Station) and opened on 1 October 1877, following housing development in the surrounding area. It was originally to be called Ditchling Rise, a more accurate name as London Road is a little way away. Until the branch closed in 1971, trains to Kemp Town diverged from the Brighton – Lewes line here.


The Lewes-side platform building was demolished in the early 1980s. The station had a substantial refurbishment at the end of 2004 with some add on parts to the original building demolished. The station has also been home to the Brighton Model Railway Club since 1971.



Services


The typical off-peak service is:



  • 3tph (trains per hour) to Brighton

  • 2tph to Seaford

  • 1tph to Lewes


As of the Southern May 2018 new timetable,[timeframe?] the Brighton to Ore service no longer calls here, as well as the newly introduced, fast Brighton to Hastings service.


The station has a ticket office and also self-service ticket machines.

Run scheduled task as local user group (not BUILTIN)

Image
0 I am trying to run a scheduled task with User Group (not a single user). This is working fine when I in the field "when running a task, use the following user account:" insert BUILTIN User Group (for example: Administrators or Users). But when I try it with the created Local User Group (example: TestGroup) it is not working. The Users in the TestGroup are the same as in the Administrators group. What could be the problem? Are there some restrictions to the Created User Group compared to BUILTINUsers? scheduled-tasks taskscheduler windowstaskschedule share | improve this question asked Nov 15 '18 at 15:36 Far...
