TRAINS BETWEEN BIRMINGHAM MOOR STREET - LONDON MARYLEBONE ARE EXPECTED TO BE EXTREMELY BUSY ON THIS DATE

Travelling to Wembley Stadium? Please use Oxford Parkway, Bicester Village, High Wycombe, Beaconsfield and Gerrards Cross stations. These stations will offer high-capacity trains to Wembley Stadium.

In connection with planned engineering works on the Euston - Birmingham New Street route, together with a major Wembley Stadium event (FA Cup Semi-Final #1), Chiltern Railways will be operating an amended timetable all day. This will include an enhanced service between Marylebone and Birmingham Moor Street, with specially-lengthened trains, and also an enhanced service serving Wembley Stadium during the afternoon and evening. Because of over-length trains, local services serving Kings Sutton, Hatton and Lapworth will be replaced by buses as follows (for local journeys to/from these stations ONLY):

  • Bicester North - Kings Sutton - Banbury.
  • Warwick Parkway - Hatton - Lapworth - Dorridge.

Additionally, planned engineering works will be taking place in the Wendover area, and no Chiltern Railways trains will operate between Marylebone and stations to Aylesbury Vale Parkway all day. Rail replacement buses will be in operation as follows:

  • Aylesbury Vale Parkway - Aylesbury - Stoke Mandeville - Wendover - Great Missenden - Amersham - Beaconsfield (for connecting trains to/from Marylebone).

Passengers travelling between Marylebone - Amersham and stations to/from Aylesbury Vale Parkway should travel via Beaconsfield.

London Underground Metropolitan Line services should be used between Baker Street and stations to Amersham.

Finalised timetables are uploaded into online journey planners 9 weeks before the date of operation. Please check your journey in the planner at the following link: https://buy.chilternrailways.co.uk/. Any journey checked outside of this timescale may be subject to change; please double-check how these amendments are due to affect your travel plans. For some engineering works and special events at Wembley Stadium, timetables may be released closer to the date of operation.
