Transport for London have confirmed there will be no fresh disruption on the London Underground that looked set to affect Manchester City and Liverpool fans travelling to the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley on Saturday.
City and Liverpool fans are already facing a disrupted journey to London for the semi-final, with no direct trains from the North West due to planned improvement works across the weekend. As a result, fans of both clubs called for the venue of the semi-final to be moved, and Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp criticised the decision to keep the fixture at Wembley despite over a year of notice of the rail disruptions.
Earlier this week, TfL confirmed 'urgent safety checks' on trains on the Metropolitan Line of the tube after a fault was discovered with train wheels — impacting fans planning to use that route to get to the Wembley Park station. Now, though, they have said there will be enough trains to run a normal service on the line.
