woody_ntfc Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 I would try and get as far as the tube network. Any trains going through High Wycombe having left Brum would, i presume, be absolutly heaving. Watford Junction is the start of the overground line direct to Wembley Central, but i have no idea what the parking is like, if theres much and how much they charge.

sparey16 Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Getting the train down on the sunday morning from Snow Hill, if we want to get food before game, where is best to go especially with the travel problems, like i know this is kinda social question but im looking for places like areas easy to get to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Lions_Roar Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Any idea of where would be good to park as we're going to drive most of the way? Presumably quite a way away and get tube or train? Maybe even High Wycombe? Harrow on the hill is always a decent place to park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

conorm Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Not sure if it's been posted but... A heads up on travel from London; planned closures on Jubilee and Metropolitan mean no Tubes running to Wembley Park on the weekend (as far as I can tell). Best bet looks like Bakerloo to Wembley Central. TFL Service Report Wembley Directions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's where I'm starting my day of drinking copious amounts of alcohol and eating crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woody_ntfc Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Yeah all the services that involve Wembley Park that come up as closed are open on the sunday. SO going all the way into central London shouldn't be a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bakes Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 I was one of the people who booked the 8.43 train for Moor Street direct to Wembley. However, I've noticed that the timetables have changed (which I haven't been notified of either!) and after a discussion with Chiltern, they're now telling me my ticket is valid for the first service from New Street which will be arriving at Wembley at 11.11am, and that there is no 8.43 service from Moor Street at all. Just thought I'd post this encase anyone else was unsure as I was! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b6bloke Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 they can't change the timetable to include change of station! I leave new street on virgin at half 8, paid more but seat reserved and tabletable plus its about an hour shorter journey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stockport_Villain Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Nice, so no service form Euston Square to Wembley, surely this isn't right. All trains from Manc and some from Brum end up at Euston, and that leaflet the transport police issued told everyone to from Euston Square to Wembley Park. Just get the London Overground service to Wembley Central and walk to the stadium. It usually leaves from platform 9 every 20 mins and takes around 20 mins also Thats what I will do and nearly always do when going to Wembley, infact i think i may even be driving as far as Watford by a mate, so it won't affect me. It's just bizarre they have done this when the transport police etc have said to do it that way. It also now means Watford Junction will be heaving if all the mancs are changing there. I wouldn't worry, the majority of manure fans will be coming from east/south london :winkold: That would be nice seeing as I have to do the return journey using the train. How on earth am I supposed to keep a straight face for 2 hours after we win! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jas Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Anyone getting the official train from Witton to Wembley? That's all still okay? Also, will there be parking at Villa Park (around the area) because I'll be driving my car there before boarding the official train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
