Residents travelling from Royal Leamington Spa to London this weekend will see extra train services running to accommodate fans heading to the Vertu Trophy Final at Wembley Stadium on Sunday 12 April 2026.
Chiltern Railways is putting on an enhanced timetable with additional trains and stops at Wembley Stadium to help manage the large number of supporters expected for the 15:00 kick-off. The match features League One rivals Luton Town and Stockport County, a fixture that has been dubbed El Hattico as both clubs share the same nickname.
For those travelling from the West Midlands region, including nearby stations, there will be more than 20 services available, providing approximately 13,000 seats for match-goers. Passengers are advised to check the amended timetable before they set off, as some early evening services on the route between Marylebone and Aylesbury Vale Parkway will be altered on the day of the event.
Wembley Stadium station is situated just a short trip from London Marylebone, typically taking around nine minutes on Chiltern Railways services. Fans are encouraged to plan their journeys well in advance to avoid delays during the busy travel period.
