East Midlands Trains providing extra services and longer trains to help Derby County supporters get to Wembley

Additional services and longer trains will be running between Derby and London St Pancras International this Bank Holiday Monday to help supporters get to Wembley for the Sky Bet Championship Play-Off Final. 

East Midlands Trains are doing everything they can to help supporters get to and from London on Monday but the huge demand from supporters as well as engineering works means services are still expected to be exceptionally busy.

Supporters can help by planning and booking their journey in advance and leaving extra time to travel too.

"We are doing everything we possibly can to provide extra seats to and from London throughout the day but we would still like to remind everyone that our services will be exceptionally busy and you are urged to plan ahead and leave extra time for your journey if possible.

"And hopefully, we look forward to fans celebrating on the way home."
