Fans of the Kenilworth Road side are reminded of engineering works on Sunday on the Thameslink line.

However rail operator Govia Thameslink Railway said that trains were still running between Luton and West Hampstead Thameslink before and after the game.

The engineering works would start at about 21.45 BST, which would mean no Thameslink service would run through central London.

Trains will still be running north from London St Pancras and West Hampstead Thameslink so even those travelling late will still find services.

After the play off final at Wembley in May 2023 there were long queues of fans trying to access West Hampstead Thameslink.

Luton Town Football club has more information about travelling on Sunday to Wembley on its website.
