Wembley Central is one of the main train stations serving Wembley Stadium, around a 10-15 minute walk away.
I used this station before and after watching Manchester City's FA Cup Semi Final fixture against Arsenal.
There are four platforms in use at this station with platforms 1 and 2 being both railway and tube, which is strange as they use the same platforms so it can be a little confusing if you aren't from London.
After the game, there was some trouble here with Arsenal fans trying to wind up the City fans, meanwhile I managed to prove how nice City fans are by actually giving an Arsenal fan directions with me back to Euston, most trains from southbound platform whether they be tube or rail do call via Euston,
The Underground Bakerloo line, London Midland, Overground and Southern all have services from here.
Overall, the station is a small station typical of most of London, no shops or anything inside but it is set out more like a tube station rather than an actual railway station.
Due to an issue with long trains and short platforms, Virgin Trains don't stop here and might stop nearby at either Watford or Milton Keynes to get a train to here, otherwise you can just carry onto Euston which is probably the best option, which I found out the hard way.
The staff at the station seemed mainly unfriendly, apart from one person which I guess is better than nothing.
This station caused me so much issues when booking my tickets, to the point where I was on the phone for hours to find out whether this station is accessiable or not, and it is from Platforms 1 and 2 for Overground and Underground services and not 4 and 5 for London Midland and Southern services which is confusing and frustrating and something needs to be done to clear this up and ease confusion.
2 stars for location being so close to Wembley and having probably the most regular trains from the most regular destinations but due to so many flaws I sadly can't go any higher than that for Wembley Central. read more
