We need longer trains on Seagulls match days
and live on Freeview channel 276
As a Brighton and Hove Albion supporter I have been very impressed with the arrangements and precautions the club is taking to keep everyone safe whilst still being able to watch the football.
However, I cannot say the same for Southern Rail.
I travel to the Amex from Polegate and on Saturday caught the 12.50pm train (bearing in mind kick off was 3pm).

Would it not be possible to have longer trains to cope with match days?
Overcrowding was always a problem, even pre-pandemic.
If there is a further local outbreak of Covid it will not be as a result of the football, Southern Rail will have to accept responsibility.
