TRAVEL organisers have eased the fears of fans by insisting that Southampton supporters won’t miss their side’s big moment under the Wembley arch this Sunday.

Train companies are putting on extra transport to ensure fans will see the Saints compete in their first major final in 14 years this weekend, with Claude Puel’s men taking on Manchester United in the League Cup final.

More trains to and from the capital are being put on to help combat travel disruption ahead of the tens of thousands of Southampton FC supporters who will be descending on London this weekend.

South West Trains are adding two additional trains in the morning and two evening trains on Sunday.

Daily Echo:

Around 30,000 tickets were given to the club for the Wembley occasion in the sold out match. Thousands of fans who weren’t fortunate enough to get a ticket are still expected to travel.

Transport for London said that they weren’t expecting any travel disruption on the day, despite the extra fans and England rugby supporters who will be travelling to Twickenham to see the national side take on Italy in the Six Nations.

A South West Trains spokesperson said: “We are pleased to confirm we will be providing additional trains between Southampton and London this Sunday to help Saints supporters travel to and from Wembley.

“There will be two additional trains in the morning, departing Southampton Central at 10.50 and 11.50am also calling at Southampton Airport Parkway. There will also be two additional evening trains, departing London Waterloo at 8.50pm and 9.50pm.”

Claude Puel’s men booked their place in the Wembley showpiece last month, beating Liverpool 2-0 on aggregate in the semi-final.

Shane Long’s 94th minute effort secured their spot, sending fans into a frenzy, booking travel arrangements and hotels around London.

A win against Manchester United would see the Saints secure their first piece of silverware since winning the FA Cup in 1976.

South West Trains said: “We would encourage supporters to leave extra time for their journey and travel via London Waterloo using the extra trains provided, particularly as there is also rugby at Twickenham on Sunday afternoon.”
