Important travel update for Wolves fans heading to Arsenal clash on Saturday

Travelling Wolves fans have been given the short straw for the Old Gold’s fixture against Arsenal after the latest transport announcement.

The Wanderers have been given an evening kick-off time of 8 PM on Saturday, which means it will be a late journey home for the travelling pack.

With the form Wolves are in, picking up any result against the league leaders would be a shock, but fans will no doubt want to enjoy their day out, in spite of any possible result.

But that may be thwarted, as there is some bad news for those fans making the trip down to London on Saturday.

Travelling Wolves fans left with no train option home after Arsenal fixture

The travelling pack on Saturday may have to find an alternative way back to Wolverhampton, as there are no train options available following the full-time whistle.

The Wolves Fan Services account on X confirmed the news with the final train departing London Euston at 9.41 PM.

Of course, with the game starting at 8 PM, the final whistle will likely be blown any time from 9:55 to 10:05 PM, or perhaps even later depending on stoppages.

So unless you leave the Emirates early, there will be no way of catching that train

For fans driving down to London on the day of the game, they will not be affected, but those taking the train will have to look for other routes back.

There are still some options available that do not require you to stay overnight in the capital, and we have them covered for you below.

Direct bus routes are available after 11 PM

If you are one of the supporters heading to the game, there are still some options for getting back home.

If you do not want to leave the game early to catch that last train, there are some bus options available for you.

The National Express has a direct bus from London Victoria to Wolverhampton departing at 11 PM following the game.

And there is another option with a direct bus from London Golders Green to Wolverhampton at 11.35 PM.

• London Victoria bus – 11 PM – 47 minutes (Estimated times provided by TFL’s plan a journey)
  • From the Emirates, walk to Finsbury Park Station (21 minutes)
  • Take the Victoria line to Victoria (13 minutes)
  • From Victoria underground walk to Victoria Coach Station (13 minutes)

• London Golders Green bus – 11.35 PM – 41 minutes (Estimated times provided by TFL’s plan a journey)
  • From the Emirates, walk to Holloway Road Station (10 minutes)
  • Take the 263 bus to Archway Station / Holloway Road (10 minutes)
  • Walk to Archway Station (2 minutes)
  • Take the 210 bus to Hoop Lane, Golders Green (17 minutes)
  • Walk to Golders Green Coach Station (3 minutes)

If you are taking any of those options above, make sure to buy your bus tickets via the National Express.

Additionally, there are also some tight turnaround times included for the London Victoria bus, so hopefully the game does not include too many stoppages.

There is the option of staying overnight and getting a train back in the morning instead, but that would be money spent that fans would no doubt like to keep.
