With the cancellation of train services on Boxing Day, we owe great thanks to the staff of Brighton and Hove Bus and Coach Company for volunteering to work on this day (The Argus, December 5).

Although a full service will not run, Roger French and his team are providing the public with transport on this special day.

The rail system closing down will cause much inconvenience to those who wish to visit relatives and go to any away football matches.

The Albion are away to Queens Park Rangers on this day and fans wishing to go will have to make other arrangements.

We do not all own cars yet we should be able to travel on Boxing Day.

Fortunately, we have a bus company that thinks of its customers.

I hope the public will remember this when the annual rail-fare increase comes along.
