Havant to Eastbourne - via Uber App Failing

[Pieman007]

Going to Eastbourne tomorrow (Sunday) for football from Havant........according to Uber App (so I can get the 5%) and it's saying no Services......

There is a Rail Replacement from Littlehampton to Brighton - I am assuming that is the reason why.......

£14.10 with my railcard isn't bad.......just a shame I can't go via Gatwick (and avoid busses) but that's "Not a permitted route" according to National Rail and the planners that do show it are split ticketing for £23.....

It's preferring to route via Haywards Heath / Three Bridges on the way back from Eastbourne to Havant, as this is about 30 minutes quicker than going via Brighton, and using the replacement bus. Unfortunately the quicker route is not a valid route.

On the way out from Havant to Eastbourne the difference is not so great (typically only about ten minutes), so it also finds the slower journeys via Brighton (and using the replacement bus).
