Normally looking for the least expensive option (this comes outta my pocket). That would be train/tube combo. However, given the amount of stuff I have to carry, National Express may be the best option. In addition, it departs Brighton only 2 blocks from where I am working so I would avoid the schlep uphill to the train station.
Just checked out the baggage limits for National Express. Two items at 20 kilos each. That is just about exactly what I will have with me. ^
