We are looking forward to carrying as many passengers as possible this weekend, heading to Wembley stadium for the Championship Play-Off Final between Sheffield United and Sunderland on Saturday 24th May. However, all services between Sunderland and London King's Cross will experience high demand and are fully reserved.
Particularly busy travel times:
- Southbound trains from Sunderland to London King's Cross: All day on Friday and Saturday morning.
- Northbound trains from London King's Cross to Sunderland: Saturday evening and Sunday morning.
Additionally, services between Doncaster and London King's Cross are expected to be fully reserved:
- Southbound trains from Doncaster to London King's Cross: Saturday morning.
- Northbound trains from London King's Cross to Doncaster: Saturday evening.
If you’re travelling with an open ticket this weekend and don’t have a seat reservation, do not travel on our Sunderland route or between Doncaster and London. Due to extremely high demand, those without reservations may not be able to board.
