I think that you need to think further about the Southern Gateway. I think that it is very important to preserve a transport hub close to the station, and I am far from convinced that what I have read suggested about bus stops is adequate. What, for instance, am I supposed to do if I arrive at Chichester station with a certain amount of luggage and am trying to get to Summersdale? Is no longer having a public transport hub going to persuade more or fewer people to use public transport? I note that today, (16/3/23), there are three letters on this in the Chichester Observer, where the three authors clearly agree with me! To abolish the transport hub will be a disaster and makes a sad joke of any claim about integrated transport policies.
