How much would we be talking for the day with a contactless card? From St Pancras - Covent Garden - Wembley - St Pancras about £7-8, something like that. And yes, just use your contactless card or apple pay. To get there... Get the Piccadilly line to Covent Garden (will be going towards Heathrow). Get back on the same line, in the same direction, and get off a Green Park and get on the Jubilee line to Stanmore and get off at Wembley Park.

Don't mix and match your contactless and phone though, use just one form for the whole day. I'm sure I saw that the payment system didn't recognise the link, but I may be wrong.

DeMontfortRam Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Double 6 Sports Bar is one of ours this year as it's allocated to fans on the East side of the stadium. It's 5 minutes from Wembley Stadium and is an absolute football haven. Has hundreds of signed 90s and 00s football shirts on the wall from every club in the country, few big screens and they have a huge outdoor area and put on a BBQ and outdoor bar. It looks rough as anything from the outside, but it's absolutely fantastic inside. Also, there's a McDonald's across the street. Highly recommended.

Grumpy Git Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Just make sure you DO tap-in AND tap-out at EVERY station with your contactless bank card, otherwise you risk being charged the maximum fare for the day. It's not a deal breaker, but the Tube is dead cheap for the service you get if you use it right. If you want some exercise to justify drinking loads of ale, make sure you take the stairs to exit at Covent Garden Tube! Be warned, it can get crazy busy at Covent Garden tube station (due to the stairs and queues for the lifts), TFL even tell you to use Leicester Square station instead and walk to CG as it's only a short 200m walk.

Just change at Tamworth (although there are a few Villa fans around these parts as well). Can’t make my mind up about that. Suppose most Villa fans will use Brum or go down the Chiltern line but Tamworth is pretty cheap and handy. About hour and half on Virgin trains to Euston. Might join you.

Philmycock Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 We're changing at Tamworth then onto Euston, 7.27am £26 return!!! How do we get to bagsie the Covent Garden pubs? Surely Villa fans would want a slice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trains into Euston on Monday 27th are a friggin nightmare due to engineering works. I'm having to use a rail replacement bus from Lime St. to Crewe. So instead of a 2h 10m direct train, its almost 4 hours. I want to cry for losing 2 hours of valuable supping time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
