Depends where you are travelling from.

Train is usually best from "outlying areas" to get to a mainline station (Marylebone in the west, Euston/Kings Cross/St Pancras in the north, Liverpool Street from the east, Cannon St, Charing Cross, Victoria and Waterloo from various points of the compass in the south. Services will be busy, but as far as I know other than some operators insisting on seat booking, nothing else is "reservable" on scheduled trains (not football specials if they still exist!). Wembley Stadium station is serviced by a mainline rail operator, Chiltern, so you may be able to get there directly if coming in from the west, otherwise......

Once your in London, use the tube, it's clean, regular, and cheap (sounds like something else of a more personal nature!). Wembley Park is on the Metropolitan line, easily accessed from other stations like Baker St, and Wembley Central station is on the Bakerloo line, and like Wembley Stadium also has connections to mainline servcies from London Overground, London Midland and Southern, all of whom run regular scheduled services where "being booked up" shouldn't be a problem.

Hope some of that helps, and hope you all get the result we all want!

That's great info. I'll save that for the future or advice for others. Thanks for taking the time to provide those details. Very useful mate.

My absolute pleasure and gald to know you got the Leeds/London leg sorted. Wherever the coach delivers you (unless it's Wembley stadium of course), use the tube not scheduled buses, they may have dedicated bus lanes but they are still as slow as walking through molasses in winter!

They've obviously all revaluated, assessed & re-accessed to become re-focused for sure several times this season, so have demonstrated that the "challenge" when presented can be skilfully met both mentally & physically - so that kind of tweaking within the "learning curve" when fully evaluated is quite reassuring as Coaching staff & players have learned how to remain much calmer under pressure & thus more composed as a unit, imo.

I know that the Wembley turf & stage atmosphere is gonna be lapped up for certain by our "confidence players". 👍

All I want is for Leeds to win a big final game on a big stage. Just once. Hasn't happened since 1972, 52 years ago. Feels like a lifetime. Oh, wait, it is a lifetime.

Unfortunately I started as a Leeds fan the following year 1973 when we lost to Sunderland, typical,

Since 1972 Leeds have been in the following Finals:
1973 FA Cup final Lost to Sunderland 0-1
1973 Cup Winners Cup Final
Lost to Milan 0-1
1975 Champions Cup Final
Lost to Bayern 0-2
1996 League Cup Final Lost to Villa 0-3
2006 playoff final lost to Watford 0-3
2008 playoff final lost to Doncaster 0 -1
Not one goal scored.
Losses to Sunderland, Watford (1st goal) and Doncaster were lost by a goal from a corner.
