Loads of police at Brighton station

[The Wookiee]

Lots of people being searched. Sniffer dogs too

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Targetting drug dealers?

 

[The Fifth Column]

Some left wing demo planned and OB were expecting the right wing meatheads to turn up looking for a rumble.

 

[Perfidious Albion]

Is it those Jehovah's Witnesses coming out of the Amex?

 

[studio150]

Angry Southern travellers?

 

[vegster]

Probably looking for fare dodgers, not so many tickets getting checked due to the current dispute.

A bit of an over-reaction to search the sniffer dogs.

 

[Springal]

Drug dogs. Everyone being filtered through the main entrance

It's festival season and the police often rock up at train stations on a Sunday anyway, with the dogs etcetera. They'll be ticking a few stat boxes is all.
They used to quite regularly have the hounds there on a Sunday morning early trying to nick people who hadn't slept yet.

Waste of resources really. Yeah, they're gonna catch the odd Surrey boy with a bit of coke left over or a few pills in his wallet.
Weekend party bods. Small fry and frankly a way to waste money and make criminals out of otherwise good people.
The drug problem in Brighton is made in Brighton, it doesn't just pop over from Reading on a weekend stag do.

Any idea when that photo was taken? I used that station every day 1959 - 1962 to go to Hove Grammar from Hassocks

No problems at Lewes

If you were going to smuggle a load of drugs, would you really get a train? just use a car, hardly any police on the roads these days!
