I drive into Slough I believe it's called and the train journey is just a few stops.

All great advice, but, shouldn't we get there first? We might just be accused of jumping the proverbial gun.

See my initial post Ric!

I saw it Ganson's and well said.

Many others either didn't, or have just got a little giddy IMO and there's nothing wrong with that I hope it doesn't bite us in the proverbial come semi final day

I saw it. I was just giving advice to the ones travelling down regardless of who gets there.

Must be an ongoing thing with the rail service for Wembley weekend. This was from 4 years ago.

And my guess is it will continue to be so until it’s moved from the Bank holiday weekend.

Engineering work is always carried out over the Bank Holiday weekends because far fewer people use the train at weekends vs the working week. I've traveled by car for the last four but 2016 seemed to be a tougher journey both ways than the previous three (nothing to do with the result). I think that it took me an hour to do the first 30 miles.

Railtrack have been out of business for about 15 years

I aways pick up the train from Banbury...direct to Wembley Stadium...great journey...very fast. You can pick up these Marylebone bound Chiltern trains from Birmingham Snow Hill if you didn't want to drive as far south as Banbury. Warwick Parkway is on this line too.

Network Rail....it's the same team, different strip.

Took you 4 years to respond to that post.

I still refer to the lot as British Railways.

Just been on booking.com, loads of cheapish hotels available in and around Wembley. I have a load of £15 vouchers as well if anyone wants one. I found rooms in the Hilton right next to the ground available for £99 excluding breakfast.

I've managed to get a room on Friday night for £59 with free parking.

Do you remember how British Rail was always given a hard time off the Tory press for unreliability and high fares? Thankfully privatisation has resolved all of that.
