Liverpool fans heading to London on public transport for Sunday’s Premier League match against Chelsea are in for a nasty surprise, with a number of transport issues making the journey horrible
Football fans are facing travel chaos for Chelsea’s Super Sunday showdown with Liverpool.
There are no direct trains to London from Liverpool Lime Street on Sunday with the journey requiring up to FOUR changes and taking nearly FIVE HOURS. Furthermore, there is mayhem in London on the Bank Holiday weekend with NO District Line running on the Underground on Sunday.
It means 40,000 fans going to Stamford Bridge to see the newly-crowned champions on Sunday for the 4.30pm kick-off will face complete chaos.
Football supporters will be left fuming while there are engineering works on other Tube lines and across the rail network this weekend.

Chelsea have already warned their fans to be aware of the travel difficulties and to us alternative Tube stations to get to the stadium, with the nearby Fulham Broadway station closed. They can go to different stations but face a huge walk and London Underground are warning of big delays around the whole area.
They are also closing the big nearby station Earls Court for up to an hour after the game to cope with the huge crowds and to stop it becoming dangerous. But it will be chaos for fans getting to the 4.30pm game shown live on Sky Sports but will also be a nightmare for Liverpool fans getting home to Merseyside.
National Rail has listed engineering works and there are regular delays at weekends with passengers facing changes at Rugby, Birmingham and Crewe to get to London.
Chelsea have sent a message to supporters to try and make fans prepared to help avoid the chaos for one of the biggest games of the season at Stamford Bridge.
It said: “Supporters intending to travel to and from Sunday’s home Premier League game against Liverpool using the London Underground are advised that planned engineering works may affect your journey.
“The District Line will be closed west of Embankment Station and on the whole of the Edgware Road branch, including the line down to Wimbledon.
“This means for the match at Stamford Bridge on Sunday, Fulham Broadway station will be closed all day and there will be no District Line trains running to any nearby stations on that branch of the tube network. The Circle Line is also affected and is closed between Edgware Road and Tower Hill (via Victoria).”
