Trains to Wembley Stadium - Station Details and further Information on Wembley Stadium Train Services
Wembley Stadium train station is a Network Rail station in Wembley, Greater London on the Chiltern Main Line. At a quarter of a mile south west of the sports venue it is the nearest station to Wembley Stadium. The present station opened in 1906 as "Wembley Hill" and became "Wembley Complex" before getting its present name. There were originally four tracks with the two platforms on passing loops outside the inner non-stop running lines; the current two-track layout dates from the 1960s.
Train services are operated by Chiltern Railways and run from Marylebone towards High Wycombe and Birmingham Snow Hill. The service to central London is quicker than from other stations in the area. Trains can reach London Marylebone in ten minutes. During busier periods (usually due to an event at the stadium) an seven car shuttle operates between Marylebone and Wembley Stadium using the turnback siding just to the north of the station to return to London. In addition, Wrexham and Shropshire services to Marylebone also call on busy days to help alleviate overcrowding. |
