Hide AdSouthern’s Head of Train Planning Dave Walker said: “We are expecting thousands more people than normal to travel on Southern services for the event, so we are providing additional trains and carriages to cope with the extra numbers.
“Although the public event is due to finish at around 2.30pm, many people are likely to stay in London for a while, especially if the weather is good, so we are making sure there is plenty of capacity for the journey home.”
