Brighton Pride 2024: Enhanced train services announced for full weekend

Brighton & Hove Pride 2024 organisers have announced plans to run additional trains with extra carriages this year, following last year’s rail cancellations which led to travel chaos.

The plans from rail operator GTR aim to prevent a repeat of the travel disruptions that plagued last year’s festivities, which saw train services cancelled for the festival’s opening day.

Festivalgoers attending Brighton & Hove Pride 2024 can also benefit from the introduction of booking protection on all Pride tickets in the event of rail cancellations.

Meanwhile, GTR says it has put in place contingency plans to ensure that Brighton station remains operational even in the face of potential industrial action.

Paul Kemp, Managing Director of Brighton & Hove Pride, praised the collaboration, saying in a statement: “We have had many months of planning meetings with GTR, and we are grateful to the whole team for committing time and effort to plan the best possible services over this summer’s Pride weekend.”

More details on will be provided by GTR at the end of July on the Brighton Pride travel page.
