Chiltern Railways is urging people not to travel unless it is absolutely essential this weekend. 

Their services are expected to be very busy this weekend (July 30 and 31) as a result of crowds heading to the Uefa Women’s Euro 2022 final at Wembley on Sunday, combined with industrial actions impacting other train companies. 

The company has warned some services may have to be cancelled at short notice because of shortages of Chiltern train crew. 

They said: "Queuing systems will be in place at major stations, and passengers who are travelling with us may not be able to take their first choice of train due to overcrowding and wider disruption.

"Customers are urged to seek alternative modes of transport and to only travel with Chiltern Railways if essential."
