Travel Advice: Weekend of Saturday 22 & Sunday 23 June 2024

 

 

Taylor Swift Concerts on Saturday 22 and Sunday 23 June:

We’re very sorry that Chiltern Railways trains will not be stopping at Wembley Stadium Station for the Taylor Swift concerts on the 22 and 23 June. 

Engineering works mean that the route between Birmingham New Street and London Euston is closed and thousands of additional customers will be using Chiltern trains for their journeys this weekend. We are putting on additional and longer trains as Chiltern will be the only rail route operating between London and Birmingham. It isn’t possible to also run extra services for the concerts because we don’t have the number of trains needed. 

With multiple public transport options to get to Wembley Stadium, we have had to take the difficult decision to not serve the concerts.

Chiltern will be serving the Taylor Swift concert on Friday 21 June with an enhanced train service as well as the dates in August.
