| 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.

| 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

| 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 always take reservations. There are just no seats left. I've just checked and all outgoing services are showing as no seats available. So your paying £50 + each way to stand unless you get lucky and there are no shows.

The ones I check on the Virgin East Coast website just said "No seats available on this service" when I went through the booking page. You can get lucky sometimes though, open tickets can be refunded and you can change time on all tickets nowadays, which sometimes frees up seats on the system, you have to happen to be on the website when they come free.

| .... cheers, it looks like it could be another very uncomfortable journey for some.
Maybe Mr Corbyn will be able to offer some advice/tips.
