Despite the incoherence of your post that doesn't actually make any sense, Angie Doll was the spokeswoman for GTR, and her words SHOULD make sense - even if they are as incoherent as your own.

Despite GTR spokeswoman Angie Doll saying they didn't? Well one or other of you has MISPOKE in a fairly major way ??? And I for one will ALWAYS trust the posts of the NSC sharp end rail professionals past and present over any kind of attempt at corporate spin by GTR. Because the NSC rail...

You seem very sure of yourself. This is what the train company told the BBC on Monday: GTR spokeswoman Angie Doll said: "We had standby trains. We had an additional 15 trains available." She said: "When we do events like this, we advertise the trains that are in the public timetable but we...

I hope you're not suggesting that they've once again been caught out being lying ba*****ds.

We've got a few heavy duty journalists on here. Would be grand if one of them could run with - or pass on to an investigative colleague - Angie Doll's 15 extra trains BS, and also get to the bottom of whose decision it was to lock the gates to the station. And were the queues REALLY gone by...

Oh, and according to the BBC, Sussex police are denying (5th paragraph down in the link) that they ordered the station to be closed: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-sussex-45083414 Bit of a quandary really. Which set of lying ******** to believe least...

I want GTR to prove the extra trains actually existed. Until such time I choose to believe there were no such trains. Much the same as the knives and knuckledusters BS lies spun by Sussex police after the Palace game. Let them produce evidence of those trains. Strongly suspect it won't be...

Reckon a hefty congestion charge would decimate the thoughtless one-car-occupant overnight. Or at least focus their minds and force them to conduct an informal cost/benefit analysis before just jumping in their car. Next time you're a pedestrian pinned to the pavement at traffic lights, look how...

Nah. It was nothing like that. As it happens I was monitoring the Live Departures board from Brighton - and my phone - on Saturday night from 11pm because I had a couple of friends (from Crawley) in the parade who I suspected might well need putting up as a Plan B in my spare room when the...

These '15 extra trains' that Southern are supposed to have laid on: was that to get people home on the saturday night? Is there any independent verification of this? All sounds a bit knives and knuckledusters to me.

Guess in the end it WAS safer to have scores of thousands of people milling around town on a warm summer's night than dangerously stampeding for one of the meagre number of trains available. doubtless huge numbers of those caught outside just consulted their phone and their app and saw a 23:04...

Except your link is about the London event :facepalm:

Probably because it was completely unadvertised tho eh?

I'm thinking if there is a lesson to be learnt by the organisers it would be to maybe have the headliner on earlydoors so that there's not the totally predictable scramble for the few available late evening trains. It's exactly the same scenario as Amex 3pm kick-off vs Amex 7.45pm kick-off. Need...

'Brighton Pride: train chaos leaves revellers stranded for hours Huge queues form at Brighton station, with Southern rail blaming overcrowding' https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/aug/05/brighton-pride-train-chaos-leaves-revellers-stranded-for-hours

Not a lot to see today. The big green wall is still up all round the park for the LoveBN1Fest that's on later. Looking forward to Roweta, Gabrielle, Jess Glynne and Nile Rodgers with Chic. Us PP residents got offered up to 4 tickets free. Which was nice. Not checked our front garden for mobile...

It sort of defeats the object of the city trying to create a great visitor experience when huge numbers of those visitors' overriding memory will be of a great day out ruined by the ever-shitty trains.
