Govia Thameslink Railway has confirmed that it will once again run an enhanced service for Brighton Pride, now in its 35th year, on the 1st and 2nd of August.

There will be longer trains to increase capacity for services to and from London Bridge, London Victoria and coastal routes on the 1st August.

Additional Trans will also run during peak times to ensure crowds can use transport safely.

GTR is prompting people to start thinking about their journeys and keep an eye out for further information, which will be released closer to the event.

“We’re excited to be working with event organisers and other local partners for the 35^th anniversary of Brighton Pride. We will have plenty of services running throughout the day on Saturday 1 August to help people get to and from the event, but would advise leaving plenty of time to get there as some of our services will be much busier than usual. As per previous years, we’ll have a queueing system in place at Brighton station to manage crowds and ensure people leaving the city can do so safely. We look forward to welcoming people on board!”
