Liverpool FC fans hoping to travel to the FA Cup Semi Final over the Easter Weekend are being warned to avoid using alternative rail services as they are likely to be busy.
Liverpool are set to take on Manchester City at Wembley on Saturday, April 16 despite engineering works meaning no trains are running on the West Coast Mainline for the whole Easter weekend. The line is shut between Milton Keynes Central and London Euston while Network Rail carries out engineering works - meaning trains cannot run directly to the capital from Liverpool Lime Street or Manchester Piccadilly.
The FA is putting on free coaches for up to 5,000 Liverpool and City fans. However getting to London will undoubtedly be a challenge for supporters with tickets - with Chiltern Railways now saying it expects its services to be busy, reports Buckinghamshire Live.
