    Any transport coming from Wembley will be busy after a concert.

    Most people will head down Olympic Way to Wembley Park station. It is well managed, but it will be busy. The most I've waited for a tube from Wembley Park is about 20 mins.

    On some occasions, I've taken the train from Wembley Stadium Station into central London, which always seems comparatively quieter. No idea what the services will be like later in the evening though.

    Not sure what time concert ends, but TfL make sure there are plenty of trains Wembley Park to Liverpool Street when there is a concert. Just checked the journey planner for Saturday, and they are every 5-10 minutes between 11pm and 11.30pm.

    I use Wembley Stadium station after most England home football games, and wait between 10 minutes and 40 minutes depending on whereabouts I'd been sitting the stadium.


    If you are in tier 5 it can take an extra 4 minutes or so to reach the station which adds a good 20 minutes to the queue. They have a queuing system, and for central London is queue A.

    Well you've got the choice of Wembly Park for the Jubilee/Metropolitan or Wembley Central for the train into Euston.

    If you opt for Wembley Park you'll be going back down Olympic Way to the station. You'll notice that crowd control will likely be in place, so you'll be let through in waves to get into the station.

    Be prepared to wait and to be told very little by the police as to when you will actually be moving. It can be a frustrating experience, but dealing with thousands of people wanting to get home must be one hell of a logistical task...

    Have fun at the gig!
