The special coach services for Cambridge fans will run from Cambridge Parkside to Wembley Stadium, calling at Madingley Road Park and Ride and Trumpington Park and Ride. 

Torquay fans can travel direct from Lymington Road in Torquay, with the services also calling at Paignton and Newton Abbott.

National Express spokesperson, Tina Martin said: “As Official Travel Partner to Wembley Stadium we realise how important the play off is for fans. We’ll be delivering supporters directly to the stadium gates so they can cheer their team to victory.”

Departures are scheduled for 18:30 and will be delayed if there is extra time to ensure people don't miss a second of the match.
