Can also use London Midland and change a Watford to get into Wembley Central - no need to go into Euston

A family ticket (2 adults 2 kids) going from Leamington to Wembley, including any tubes/buses (in case you want to go into London), and anytime travel all day, is £50. Seems good value, I think I'll drive down though.

* If the game kicks off at 14.30, then the train arriving at 14.18 is probably pushing it.

Hello,

I am not one for using trains but I want to get my train tickets for the trip to Wembley.

Can anyone help me as they are coming out at about £92 open return for 2 adults. (£46.00 each)

Depart Sun 2 April around 11:00/11:30 am

Ideally would like to travel from Nuneaton or Rugby if the prices are a lot cheaper. I've tried train websites but when I see people banding they paid £15.00-£30 return I want to try and get to these prices

Please help!

I will keep the board updated with any info I find on trains, but Mrs OSB doesn't want to travel on a football special for some reason, so my preferred mode of transport will be driving to some godforsaken suburb to the northwest of London and Met Line it to Wembers Centraal.

You sure?

I always use Virgin now. I used to use the Train line, but pretty much found no difference in price.

Anyway, this was a list of times and arrivals rather than for prices.

That costs more.

Does for my train anyway.

I booked the 12.31 with Virgin for £7.50. With this one it is £7.50 plus £2.50 booking fee.

Chiltern Line
Warwick, Leamington Banbury etc

April 2nd
There is also a sporting event at Wembley Stadium – Checkatrade Trophy Final. An amended timetable will operate for most of the day, with many services calling additionally at Wembley Stadium.


Good Afternoon
Thank you for getting in touch.
I can see that we released an amended timetable for 19/03/2017 on 02/02/2017 so maybe revised again around 20/02/2017.
Once the update has been released you will find the amended timetable at https://www.chilternrailways.co.uk/tickets-and-times/changes/2017-03
Hope this information helps and thank you once again for getting in touch.

Just booked train from Tipton to Wembley Stadium (3 changes) for £6.50 each way, took a risk by booking train back at 17.22 otherwise would have cost £29.40 for next train

Best hope for no extra time then.

If there is you'll never make it.

Fingers crossed we can win it in normal time.
