For assisted travel, call Network Rail on 0800 52 82 100 (freephone) at least 4 hours prior to travel. There is at least one wheelchair bay per train, so book in advance to be sure to reserve the spot.  Powered scooters come in all shapes and sizes, and unfortunately some are unsuitable for train travel. If you wish to take a scooter on a train, you’ll need to complete a Scooter Card application form – and then send it to South Western Rail.  They recommend doing this early as it takes up to two weeks to process.

Eight buses operate continuously between the collection point at the end of Platform 13 at Stratford Station to the Stadium two hours prior to kick-off, with 18 shuttles running for up to a maximum of 90 minutes after the full-time whistle. Please note, road closures are in place post-match to provide safe routes for home and away supporters leaving the stadium and so the shuttle buses do not leave until the traffic restrictions have been lifted.
