Travelling by train to High Wycombe tomorrow [Saturday]

clive

A rail firm has "reluctantly" advised passengers not to travel on its services this weekend due to "severe disruption" from engineering works.

Chiltern Railways said it would not run through trains on routes between London Marylebone and Birmingham, High Wycombe and Oxford.

It said rail replacement bus services would be "extremely limited".

The firm said tickets would be accepted on services run by Great Western Railway and CrossCountry.

Rail lines will be closed by Network Rail all weekend between Leamington Spa and Princes Risborough, as well as between High Wycombe and Wembley Stadium, Chiltern Railways said.

The firm said: "Most journey times will be considerably longer than usual.

"Customers are strongly advised to check their travel plans for both Saturday and Sunday and should only travel if absolutely necessary.

"We have issued this advice reluctantly and with regret but want our customers to know the extent of the disruption to services over the weekend."

Going by car for this one, but might be worth seeing how much it will cost in a taxi. Surely can’t be more than £100 both ways. Not bad If you can get 4/5 people in the car

An alternative route is London Underground Metropolitan Line Baker Street to Amersham & bus/taxi to High Wycombe, buses 1a or 103 run between Amersham & High Wycombe.
Tubes are every 30 minutes, departing Baker Street at 04/34 minutes past the hour, journey time 50 mins approx.

Chiltern are still running trains on their other line, so you can get to Amersham on a Marylebone to Aylesbury train. Then try your luck with the rail replacement buses they're running from there to Wycombe or get the regular bus or a taxi as recommended by Clive.

 If any early travellers could update this thread, with how the trains/replacement buses are fairing it may be helpful for people on their way to the game.

Are tickets available on the gates?

I would suggest that any fans going by train should be "early travellers", as the rail replacement buses at Amersham will be overloaded if all Charlton fans arrive at 2pm

Ended up getting local bus from Amersham as no sign of replacement service

I'd not imagine so mate, travelling on a rail replacement service is not ideal.
