Tubes normally run every 5 minutes on the Metropolitain line, journey is 22mins give or take.

They stack empty trains at Wembley at match kick out (at least they always have in the past), to intermingle with the regular trains. So, right after kick off probably a bit quicker than 1 every 5.

Could get an Uber?

If you haven't got the app, download it and get a code from a mate to get some free credit (£20 I think), or if you already have it do a search for credit codes.

Book a car whilst walking out of Wembley to a suitable pick up spot, £15-£20 (so potentially a free journey) to Kings Cross taking 15mins in air conditioned luxury.

That's probably what we will do as well, although I expect it to be on surge charging when we leave. They also do UberPool as well now which is a way to split the cost with people heading the same way as you, you book seats in the car. Gets well reviewed.

If you want £10 (it use to be £20, but they've reduced it) credit on Uber use this code when signing up 31yfk

They still appear to be selling tickets to/from Kings Cross on Saturday, despite Hull trains saying they were full 3 days ago.... http://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/hull-tra ... story.html http://ojp.nationalrail.co.uk/service/t ... 6/0730/dep

There are just no seats left. I've just checked and all outgoing services are showing as no seats available. So your paying £50 + each way to stand unless you get lucky and there are no shows.

... does the link I posted show no seats available, or have you found it somewhere else?

The ones I check on the Virgin East Coast website just said "No seats available on this service" when I went through the booking page. You can get lucky sometimes though, open tickets can be refunded and you can change time on all tickets nowadays, which sometimes frees up seats on the system, you have to happen to be on the website when they come free.

.... cheers, it looks like it could be another very uncomfortable journey for some.

Maybe Mr Corbyn will be able to offer some advice/tips.
