Tube and rail services affected
New London Overground route faces public consultation
Transport for London is seeking views on a proposed 18.5km line linking Hendon and Hounslow using existing freight tracks.
Wembley Park station, served by the Jubilee and Metropolitan lines, will be the main Tube access point for concertgoers. The station is a short walk from the stadium along Olympic Way. TfL advises fans travelling from central London to use the Jubilee line from stations such as London Bridge, Waterloo and Westminster, or the Metropolitan line from Baker Street.
London Northwestern Railway services will face disruptions over the first weekend of the concerts. Engineering works between North Wembley and Bletchley will affect late-night and early-morning trains on 15 and 16 August. The 10.21pm and 11.30pm services from London Euston to Northampton on 15 August will not stop at Bushey, nor will the 12.09am service on 16 August. Some Sunday morning services will skip Bushey or only allow passengers to alight.
Fans relying on these services after the concerts are advised to check their journeys in advance. National Rail has not confirmed alternative arrangements for affected passengers.
