Kemptown MP pushes for Falmer rail improvement

Simon Kirby, MP for Brighton Kemptown and Peacehaven, last week met with Network Rail executives to call for improvements to the signalling at Falmer Station to alleviate problems of congestion, particularly on Brighton and Hove Albion match days, as well as calling for longer and more frequent trains.

Simon said:

“I raised a number of issues, including the need for improved signalling at Falmer, to help reduce congestion for people wishing to use the train to get to and from Falmer.  In order to encourage people to use public transport, it is important that the public transport facilities are adequate.

“Improvements to the signalling could help ease the problem of long queues at the station and crowded platforms for people leaving the ground and other rail users. This was an issue I was keen to impress on Network Rail as action on this matter could make a real difference for people.”
