Neasden road works to impact on Wembley road and bus travel for 6 months

Traffic has been very heavy along Blackbird Hill/Forty Lane/ Forty Avenue during peak hours since new schools have opened in Wembley and they are still not operating to full capacity.

Now roadworks at Neasden are due to cause more problems and TfL has issued a delay warning LINK

These are their disruption maps for October:

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.

Major disruption on Forty Lane

Following a road accident outside Brent Town Hall Forty Lane has been closed off and traffic is being diverted via Kings Drive and The Paddocks.
