Surely it is to do with the England match at Wembley and the obvious
decision that there will be *no* rail based access to Wembley? All the
stations in the area are shut or else trains will not stop - Chiltern
included.


Possibly, I didn't think of that.

If one station was known to be open it would be swamped to dangerous
levels so perverse as it seems it is better to have them all closed and
thus the risk of crush conditions in stations disappears.


But isn't S********** P*** nearly as close as North Wembley, with S***
K***** not much further either? I know most fans might not realise
this, but there will be a few who will be able to work it out.
