London Midland will be running a number of extra trains between Northampton and London on Saturday for Cobblers fans heading for the play-off final against Bradford City.
The firm will also be adding carriages to others where possible, but is warning fans that trains will be extremely busy, and they should leave extra time for their journeys, travel early and consider using alternative stations.
With up to 10,000 people expected to travel by train, London Midland is asking fans to consider travelling from Milton Keynes, Wellingborough or Bicester instead.
David Whitley, head of marketing for London Midland, said: “Train services on Saturday mornings are already extremely busy, so we are doing all we can to prepare for the extra demand this weekend. This includes hiring trains from other operators, as well as adding carriages to our existing services.
“However, we’re still encouraging fans to use Milton Keynes, Wellingborough and Bicester stations if they can, as we won’t be able to carry an extra 10,000 people from Northampton alone.”
Details of Saturday’s extra trains will be available on the London Midland website by Thursday morning.
