| Before anyone starts hyperventilating- I am posting this as many people (myself included) like to travel to the cup final regardless of who is involved!
For those planning on travelling to Wembley by train, all services from the North will be terminating at Rugby due to engineering works in the Watford area on both the Saturday and Sunday.
If you are intent on travelling via the WCML you will have to travel to Coventry or Birmingham International, then on to Euston via the Chiltern line.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for this, I like you will be going to London that weekend to watch the game whether or not the Wire are there.
Every August Bank Holiday weekend Railtrack do works which bugger the journey up.

Network Rail perform all the same functions, but state owned because privatizing railtrack was stupid.... much like rail in general.

Engineering work has to be done at times when the disruption will be the least. Some works need to be done during BH weekends as obviously the extra day means much more can be done - and as much as it's not good for a few thousand wanting to travel to Wembley, it is much, much less disruption than affecting hundreds of thousands of commuters on a normal work day.

Our usual PoA is to drive down to a nearby town, find cheapish all-day parking, then get a train to Wembley.
No rail works and cheap parking with a reasonably fast getaway after we lift the cup.

Beaconsfield or Gerrards Cross are good options to do this, handy for the M40 and a short journey time into Wembley. |
