London Northwestern Railway: Passengers advised to travel early ahead of play off final this weekend

Coventry City fans travelling with London Northwestern Railway (LNR) to Wembley for the Championship play off final are advised to travel early on Saturday 27 May.

Services between Nuneaton – London Euston and Coventry – London Euston are expected to be very busy, particularly between 12pm and 3pm and from 7pm onwards.

Passengers are advised to allow plenty of time for their journey and queueing systems may be in place at key stations throughout the day to help keep passengers safe.

With a kick off time of 4.45pm, it is also recommended that passengers not attending the football consider travelling at a different time where possible, to avoid busy periods.

Jonny Wiseman, LNR customer experience director, said:

“Services are expected to be extremely busy on Saturday 27 May as thousands of Coventry City fans head to Wembley. I would like to advise passengers to travel early ahead of the game and passengers not attending the football to consider travelling at a different time where possible.

“It is expected to be another hot weekend and I would also advise passengers to bring a bottle of water, keep hydrated and stay safe.”
