Hi all, we have ticets for the 6.30pm train home.

In past experience, is this enough time take a brisk walk to the tube, or do we need to be doing a usaine bolt dw to the tube station? Past 3 visits to wembley have been on coach. Thanks in advance

Thanks for that - what a helpful site

They are brilliant at managing the Wembley way surge up to the tubes after the match. Means it moves pretty quickly despite the number of folk heading there.

Was really busy last year at three quarter time apparently.

haha I bet it was My husband being one of them

I'm on the same train home, would have got a later one but it was really cheap compared to other times so it was a no brainier really.
Personally I think it'll be close but should make it. It's the lifting of the cup (if we win) that will make us miss the train. So may have to cut that short if so.

Tubes normally run every 5 minutes on the Metropolitain line, journey is 22mins give or take.

The longest bit is from leaving your seat to actually getting on the tube, 5 minutes just to get outside the stadium, then a few minutes walk around depending on where you are seated so by the time you've got onto the tube this could easily be 25-30 minutes plus add another 10 minutes at the other end from getting off the tube to getting onto the platform. The platform you'll be departing from is the 'new' platform 0 (zero), essentially where the old cab driver's lane was and is located at the Easternmost side of the station.
So I would give yourself a good hour so you're not panicking/rushing
HTH

Thanks for the help.

TBH after Wigan it too a long time to get up to the tube at Wembley park, a long time. It does keep moving but was a good 30-40 mins IIRC

Could get an Uber?

If you haven't got the app, download it and get a code from a mate to get some free credit (£20 I think), or if you already have it do a search for credit codes.

Book a car whilst walking out of Wembley to a suitable pick up spot, £15-£20 (so potentially a free journey) to Kings Cross taking 15mins in air conditioned luxury.

They stack empty trains at Wembley at match kick out (at least they always have in the past), to intermingle with the regular trains. So, right after kick off probably a bit quicker than 1 every 5.

That's probably what we will do as well, although I expect it to be on surge charging when we leave. They also do UberPool as well now which is a way to split the cost with people heading the same way as you, you book seats in the car. Gets well reviewed.

If you want £10 (it use to be £20, but they've reduced it) credit on Uber use this code when signing up 31yfk

They still appear to be selling tickets to/from Kings Cross on Saturday, despite Hull trains saying they were full 3 days ago.... www.hulldailymail.co.uk/hull-tra ... story.html ojp.nationalrail.co.uk/service/t ... 6/0730/dep
