Did Wycombe last season on a ground hop mission. Was impressed by the trains from London (Marylebone). Chiltern railways. Took about an hour I think and trains were dead comfortable even in standard areas. Can Remember passing Wembley but can't remember if we stopped near it. Hopefully trains will be on after reading previous posts. Today will be key I suppose because of the 14 days strike notice needed. Don't think they would announce one tomorrow/Sunday.

LFEE Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 Friend has just spoken to LNER and no planned strikes. Guessing things could change but certainly none being looked at at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember going to the NFL and some unfortunate designer outlet shoppers being joined by 20,000 fans getting on their train home. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderson Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 Announcing strikes that weekend would be shooting themselves in the foot - fully supportive of their strikes, but targeting a weekend where the main people inconvenienced are football fans from Newcastle & Manchester won't do them any favours.

Standard town really but you got a train 15 mins into London or the tube so both easy. Reading i lived there for nearly 6 years, again 24 mins direct to Paddington. Best options Harrow on hill, few stops from Wembley, uxbridge on met line too and easy access or Watford. Was thinking parking Harrow on Hill as it looks easy for tubes into Trafalgar Square and Wembley. Aiming to get into London for 10am on the Sunday, reckon finding somewhere to park in Harrow will be sound? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TOON Dave Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 Moved to South Coast many years ago so my match day attendance has been mostly hospitality as normal tickets never go on sale to general public. So my chance of getting a Wembley ticket is none existent but I will be in London on the day regardless, first train up and last train back. Shout out to all those in the capital but unable to attend the game... We need to congregate on a central location as it will make the atmosphere more electric. Telling everyone The Mags are here to stay!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
