Breaking News Please Check Underground for Wembley Final

Getting back after will be the biggest issue. Fans getting there will arrive over a 2-3 hour period but you will have huge numbers all leaving at a very similar time. Bakerloo line at the best of times is poor yet alone on a Sunday service.

You would think they would plan it so maintenance is only done on either the Jubilee or Metropolitan line at a single time

Train (Elizabeth Line) to Paddington. Bakerloo like from Paddington to Wembley Central. 15 min walk from there.

50k Oldham and Southend fans going thru Wembley Central. Not going to end well

 

[Southminster Shrimper]

So stupid. They need to sort this out or change the date of the works. They won't.

 

[JCB]

TFL made £9.4bn in revenue last year. There is no way they're changing engineering works with 10 days notice

It’s not about money it’s about safety. FWIW I also doubt they do anything, but they should.

The old bill may throw a spanner in TFL’s plans.

No way they will allow that number of opposing fans to mingle freely at a relatively small station

All the Oldham fans will come from Euston. Best bet is Marylebone for safety or a coach.

Everyone will still meet at Wembley Central though, which will be the flash point, the old bill focus on.

That’s why teams get given East and West sides of Wembley, (which include pubs/trains) to avoid direct contact in large numbers.

Google seems optimistic that the Met Line will be fine. Giving me 1hr 53 from my front door to the Green Man

If you use the TFL website directly it’ll show different unfortunately

Tfl travel planner isn't so optimistic

Marylebone trains go to Wembley Stadium Station.

I share your concerns but the police are going to HAVE to manage it somehow because the chances of TFL changing their engineering works is as close to 0 as to be insignificant

 

[Napster]

I’ll leave the stone island coat at home then

Marylebone trains go to Wembley Stadium Station.

Both WSS and Wembley Central are a stones throw from one another though, and unless the old bill put a cordon around the area and redirect fans getting off at WC, half way around Brent, fans will still mix in large numbers.

You’re probably right, of course.

 

[Mad Cyril]

Most of the Oldham fans will leave at half time so we will be fine.

Counterfeit Lacoste Polo and Reebok Classics for summer.

Depends what they're doing. The lines are right next to each other.

The Rose west stand Saga’s are game for any beef.

Exactly that - I know the other teams that are playing at Wembley in the PO have been given sides for this reason
