James Reeve, Greater Anglia Area customer service manager, said: “We always try and support local events if we can.

“We know this day is very important to many of our customers, which is why we are running additional trains.

“Passengers are advised to buy tickets online or via the Greater Anglia app before they travel. Groups of three of more people can save a third on fares with GroupSave.

“Our new trains are longer and have more seats. However, we would ask everyone to be patient while boarding as we are expecting higher than usual passenger numbers on these services.”
