I hope the council give some serious thought to the transport issues here.
Transporting 15,000 people is a big issue for a line which will have 6 trains per hour, however;
The trains will have a capacity of 257 not 150 and many will be 6 car and carry 514 pax
A good percentage of the fans would presumably arrive by coach or car
Shuttle buses could add capacity
Not everyone would be travelling to/from the arena at the same time with many having dinner/drinks before or after
Ideally a new loop to Central would add an extra 6 trains as well although there's clearly no current plan for this.
