James Steward, area customer service manager for Greater Anglia, said: “We know this match is very important to thousands of our customers, which is why we are running additional trains.

“We always want to support large local events where possible and make it easy for people to travel to by train.

“Trains will run with the maximum number of carriages. Our new trains are longer and have more seats.

“However, we would ask everyone to be patient while boarding as we are expecting very high passenger numbers on these services.”
