National Express launches exclusive coach service to take Newcastle fans to Wembley

Newcastle fans hoping to get to Wembley to watch the Magpies take on Manchester United in the Carabao Cup can take advantage of a special service from National Express. The coach provider, a Wembley Stadium partner, is running an exclusive service to get fans down in time for kick-off.

The service will leave from the coach station on St James Boulevard and run directly to Wembley Stadium. Setting off at 8.30am, the six-hour journey will get fans to Wembley for 2.30pm.

The kick-off time for the final against Manchester United hasn’t been confirmed yet, but last year’s final started at 4.30pm, which means there’ll be plenty of time to find your seats. The return journey leave Wembley at 7.30pm and get back into Newcastle for 1.30am on the 27th.
