Wealden LibDems at the whopping People's Vote March in London

Trains across Wealden were packed on the morning of Saturday March 23rd (not least because Southern apparently didn't get the memo and therefore hadn't added any extra carriages, let alone extra trains!) as thousands of Sussex residents travelled up to London for what would turn out to be not only the biggest People's Vote March to date but, with estimates of well over a million marchers, possibly the biggest ever demonstration in the UK.
