Seating for trains into London to rise by 20% by 2019

Network Rail has announced plans for 20% more seats on trains going into London during the morning rush period.

By 2019 there will be an extra 115,000 seats, bringing the total up to 654,000, the rail film said.

But the percentage increase in seats for London is lower than for large regional cities in England and Wales, which will see a 32% increase.
