The 9pm train

Just wondered how many people on here have booked this train home, will there be problems gettin on it if you have reserved seats
 
I have reserved seats on it, but thankfully I booked an off peak return rather than advance tickets so it doesn't really matter if I miss it. Staying at a mate's who's at uni in London and coming back the next day.
 
With it being the only train that most people can make I expect a mad scramble to get on with some left behind
 
3 of us booked those Travelcard tickets but while we have reserved seats going down, it wouldn't let us reserve them coming back on the 9pm so I'm assuming all reserved seats on that train had been sold at that point.

Would they really sell more advance tickets - both reserved and unreserved - than the actual capacity of the train? I appreciate that there is going to be a mad scramble for this train but I wasn't anticipating a scenario where we get there in time but can't get on it due to it being full!
 
There is a 21:40 train to Leeds from Kings Cross gets in at 00:15am and a coach to Manchester at around 2:15am,i caught this when i was on my way home for the QPR game last season,so i would check on times and if it is still running.It also gets very busy normally with students etcetera,but it is an option,although Virgin tickets aren't valid as it is a different operator.

But I thought if u bought a day travel card it allows u to get on any train so everyone with one of those will be tryin to get on the 9pm cos it's not really possible to get an earlier one
 
How far is the train station from Wembley? I have never got the train but really want to this time. Maybe people could share taxis to the train station from Wembley if that makes it faster
