Pete Mellar, Area Customer Service Manager, Greater Anglia, said: “This game will be very popular, and so customers are advised to check before they travel and expect to queue after the match.
“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. Once on the train, we would encourage passengers to move down the aisle and use all the space available.
“To save time, 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.”
