Table of Contents
Wembley, London – Tens of thousands of Oasis fans are navigating significant travel delays following the band’s performance at Wembley Stadium.With an estimated 90,000 attendees, leaving the venue presents a major logistical challenge. Transport for London (TfL) and event organizers are advising concertgoers to consider option routes and modes of transport to avoid lengthy queues and congestion.
The sheer volume of people departing the stadium together is causing substantial disruption to local transport networks.Fans are urged to plan ahead and be prepared for delays, with several strategies available to mitigate the impact of the post-concert rush.
Avoiding the Wembley Park Crush
To bypass the heaviest congestion at Wembley Park station, fans are advised to walk approximately 1.1 miles to preston Road station. This 21-minute walk allows access to the Metropolitan line, enabling travel towards Aldgate while passing thru Wembley Park, potentially avoiding the largest crowds.
Alternatively, taking the Jubilee line northbound one stop to Kingsbury offers another escape route. The northbound platform is typically quieter after large events. Passengers can then switch to a southbound train at kingsbury, potentially securing a seat on a less crowded carriage ahead of the main flow of fans still waiting at wembley Park.
Bus and Parking Options
Several bus routes – 83, 182, 206, 223, 297, and N83 – serve the Wembley area. The closest bus stop to Wembley Stadium is Olympic Way (E), a five-minute walk from the venue.
For those who drove,Wembley Stadium’s event day parking is limited and requires advance reservations through the Wembley Official Parking website. Access is not granted to vehicles without a pre-booked reservation, and organizers strongly advise using official car parks only.
