FA cap ticket sales for England Women's match at Wembley due to line closures


With ticket sales at 55,000 for England vs Germany on Sunday November 23rd the FA have stopped sales of tickets for what will be the highest attendance ever  for an England  women's football match in the UK, although more than 75,000 watched the Great Britain women's team during the 2012 Olympics.

The cap is a result of both the Metropolitan and Jubilee lines being closed on that weekend and their replacement by buses.

This normally results in confusion on normal weekends with tourists from Wembley's many hotels trying to lug multiple heavy suitcases on to the replacement buses.

Brent Council needs to ensure that TfL is publicising alternative public transport routes well ahead of the match.

One can't but think that the women's game fans are  getting second class treatment from TfL and the FA.

Wembley Park cut off from the rest of London this weekend

There are closures on the  Metropolitan and Jubilee lines this weekend so no trains from Wembley Park. Best bet is the slow old Bakerloo from Stonebridge Park or Wembley Central (fingers crossed) or over to Alperton for the Piccadilly. Other lines are also affected - details below.
