Why the heavy police presence at Farringdon station the other
Saturday?


Luton Town were playing away to Leyton Orient on saturday (kick off
was 3pm), so I'd presume that these were British Transport Police and
they were there to monitor/control/herd travelling Luton fans (who
have a bit of a reputation)


The match was played at Luton!
So the police may have been waiting for the thousands of Orient fans
on their way home from Kenilworth Road?

police and dogs around the nation recently.
