We are going from Bromley South to Victoria, meeting friends there & then tube to Marylebone (Victoria line to Oxford circus & change to Bakerloo line). Then overground to Wembley Stadium. More direct & less people (I hope).
From Victoria wouldn’t you just take the Victoria line to Green Park (only one stop) and then onto the Jubilee? That would be super quick.
Jubilee doesn't go to Marylebone. Goes to Baker St though which, I grant you, is a short walk to Marylebone. But I was looking at direct connections.
No I meant Jubilee all the way to Wembley? Not sure why you would go via Marylebone to Wembley from Victoria?

Wembley Stadium station is closer to the ground and not as crowded as Wembley Park

Just hope that from Marylebone the trains are of more than 4 carriages, it is common to find this, hopefully not the case on Sunday.
Bit of a random one but I haven't worn my Charlton shirt for a while and now found it doesn't fit . Too late to order, does anyone know if stalls will be selling CAFC products on Wembley Way??
Especially useful for those of us returning home...
So we are starting from Eltham, but can be dropped off at North Greenwich. Perplexity AI thought this is a clear winner compared with train from Eltham. Is it right?
My sister said she'd heard the Bexleyheath line is knocked out for 12 weeks because they need to repair the Blackheath tunnel. But not this weekend, right?
But the Dartford Loop, if they still call it that, is definitely knocked out, saw another thread on that?
Prague, my best advice is -
Trains from Eltham to Charing Cross run at 28 & 58, change at London Bridge & take 44 mins or Trains from Eltham to Charing Cross run at 21 & 51, change at Lewisham & take 37 mins.
Charing Cross underground get on Bakerloo Line to Marylebone 5 stops. Takes 15 mins max.
Marylebone OVERGROUND to Wembley Stadium Station takes 14 mins max.
Overall 1hr 30 mins max door to door.
Alternatively, simply get off at London Bridge and get the Jubilee Line to Wembley Park or switch from Jubilee Line to Metropolitan Line (much quicker/less stops) at Baker Street to Wembley Park.
Yes you could ask someone to drop you or cab it to Woolwich or North Greenwich but it makes no sense to me. if you're walking with difficulty they can drop you at Eltham station in a few minutes.
Also if there are mobility issues Wembley Stadium Station doesn't have a massive load of steps like Wembley Park.
Train from Norwich to Liverpool Street and then tube to wembley park. Can't wait but anxiety kicking in. Rare for me to train to a game so will be a nice change. Can also have a pre match beer 🍺
Woolwich and Elizabeth Line is the best and likely quickest option.
Jubilee Line trains from N Greenwich could be all packed as Orient will have just got on at Stratford.
Bugger, coming from Essex my plan was to get on the Jubilee at West Ham. Stupidly, I hadn't considered that that would put us in the middle of all the travelling O's fans. I guess it's still the best option though as whichever way we come we're going to have to cross their patch. Will just have to beat the crowds by going early. My plan for coming home is to have a very good reason to hang around Wembley longer than anyone supporting Orient .
If you're planning on getting the Lizzie line to Farringdon and changing there for the Met line here's a tip for you.
Get on the very back of the train and when you get to Farringdon follow the exit signs to Barbican. Once you go up the first escalator go off to the left and there is a "secret" lift there that takes you straight up to the Westbound Met line platform at Barbican. You don't even have to leave the station. And it means you can get on the Met line train at Barbican one stop earlier than all the melons who got off the same train as you and headed to the Farringdon exit.
Eltham Addicks get the train to London Bridge and the Jubilee to Wembley (just under an hour total duration). What’s all this nonsense about driving to North Greenwich?
Doing the same journey myself, all the other alternatives (132 to North Greenwich etc.) just seem like a pain in the arse.
Blimey, never thought this thread would get to 100 posts!!
But it's interesting, I tried to see how AI deals with this and the answer is, not great. The Overground from Marylebone - which I too had never heard of - never got a mention. Is this the Chiltern Line service that was mentioned earlier ?
@Covered End I'm not sure I understand your train times from Eltham. That doesnt look right to me. Four an hour but bunched together like that?
But appreciate you considering my "mobility problem". Thankfully its getting better by the day, almost OK but given the choice I'd certainly avoid more steps than I need to. How long has Wembley Stadium existed? I don't recall it in 2019
Yes it’s Chiltern Line Service. Most people are unaware of the overground to Wembley Stadium Station. It's been around years, I always use it and am back in Marylebone in 20 mins, whilst people queue for over an hour at Wembley Park.

Wembley Stadium station has been there for ages. I got the train back from there after the 2019 game.

My plan for the day involves not one but two trips to a Wetherspoons @ElfsborgAddick (don't start), going Turnpike with at 8.30 breakfast and a pint then 9.22 from welling to London Bridge, a cariety of tubes I won't bore everyone with details, then a short walk from central to JJ Moons.

If you don't believe me just Google it, or watch this video.
You're welcome!
