London Midland runs special trains for Aston Villa fans heading to Wembley

Date: 16 Feb 2010

Rail operator London Midland is running three direct trains to Wembley for the League cup final clash between Aston Villa and Manchester United on 28 February.

The trains will leave Birmingham New Street at 0933, 1053 and 1110 (and return after the match has finished).

Super off-peak return tickets to Wembley Central cost just £14 return (£7 for children) from any station in the West Midlands. The price even includes the local train journey into Birmingham.

Full details can be found on the London Midland website at www.londonmidland.com/wembley or by calling London Midland on 0121 634 2040.

London Midland commercial director Alex Hynes said: “We’re providing hundreds of extra seats for Villa fans to enjoy their big day and avoid the worry of driving or parking.

"These three extra trains will make it that little bit easier for another 1500 fans to get to the match; and at just £14 a head it's almost half the price of parking at the stadium!"
