FA Cup SF | Liverpool | Sat 16 Apr 15:30 | Travel, Ticket & Pub Discussion

I can't find a listing for Saturday, but this is the Sunday listing for Palace - logic suggests that these would be Liverpool:

Anyone planning to use the Metropolitan Line on Saturday, allow yourself a bit more time, or get the slower Jubilee Line... basically the wheels are too small on the Met Line trains!


This will cause further travel mayhem for football fans travelling to the FA Cup semi-finals this weekend, between Manchester City and Liverpool and Chelsea and Crystal Palace, at Wembley Stadium. Those coming down from the North West are already facing major problems with no trains running to London Euston past Milton Keynes.

Sources at TfL told MailOnline today that the defects have been caused by the wheel lathe - which is used for maintaining the wheels - 'drifting from its pre-programed settings during the wheel profiling process'. BBC News also reported that the wheels are now slightly too small, and this is believed to be down to a maintenance issue.

TfL said its engineers were now carrying out 'detailed checks of the entire fleet', although the wheel issue is not thought to affect the similar-looking S7 trains which run on the District, Circle and Hammersmith & City lines.

SIX weeks of Metropolitan Line mayhem as TfL examines fleet of Tubes

Engineers from Transport for London (TfL) are now checking the entire fleet of S8 trains used on the Metropolitan line, which were only introduced between 2009 and 2012 after being built in Derby.

More than 500 signalling and track upgrade projects across the country include the closure of London's Euston and Victoria stations to most services.

It will cause chaos for the thousands of football fans travelling to the FA Cup semi-finals, between Manchester City and Liverpool and Chelsea and Crystal Palace, at Wembley Stadium.

Trains into London from the North West and West Midlands will instead stop at Milton Keynes Central, meaning other routes into the capital face being overwhelmed.

The FA is urging fans from the North to avoid the railways and use specially laid-on buses or travel before the weekend instead.

And the issues on the Metropolitan line, which serves Wembley Park, will no doubt cause further problems for fans travelling to both semi-finals across the weekend.

For anyone going to Wealdstone FC, be aware that this is the line you will get from Ruislip to Wembley. Still running but less frequent than usual

The Torch seems to be the main pub for the East side.

Yeah cheers, still should be fine. Been told they’re running every 15 mins now instead of the usual 8 minutes.
Like I said before, we will be leaving Wealdstone about 12:30/1 to ensure plenty of time to get to Wembley.

no panic!

Yes, to Wembley Park tube. Alternative would be a slightly longer walk (a mile) to West Ruislip for Chiltern Rail running to Wembley Stadium, which appears to be scheduled at .36 & .49, taking 14min and 8min respectively.
