01  ·  Why we've laid these on

Sorted fast, so no one misses it.

The final was only confirmed on Wednesday. For thousands of Boro fans, that left the hard part - actually getting to Wembley and back on the day.

Trains are limited, the drive is the best part of five hours each way, and parking near Wembley is a job in itself. Central Connect are one of the biggest bus and coach operators in East Anglia, so we are doing what we do best; 5 coaches, leaving Teesside on Saturday morning and back the same evening. You travel with fellow supporters - we handle everything else.

The route, stop by stop.

Board at any of the three pick-up points. Blyth and Peterborough also serve as comfort stops on the way down.

02  ·  Good to know

Your questions, answered.

What do I get for £85?
A return coach seat from your chosen pick-up point to Wembley and back the same evening. It's travel only - you'll need your own ticket for the match.
Do I need a match ticket?
The coach gets you there and home; the matchday ticket is separate and isn't included. Whilst travel on our service is allowed without a match ticket, we can't refund a coach seat if you don't manage to get one.
Is this legit?
Central Connect Transport and FlagFinders CTB Ltd are part of the Transport Made Simple Group. We have been operating bus and coach services across the UK for many years, including football coaches to the UEFA European Championships and more.
Where can I board?
Middlesbrough Train Station (06:30), Blyth Services (08:30) or Peterborough Services (10:30) - choose your pick-up when you book. Blyth and Peterborough double as comfort stops.
What time do we get back?
The return leaves Wembley after the game, roughly 18:15-18:30 (your driver confirms on the day), calling at each stop in reverse order.
How are seats and coaches allocated?
We fill one coach before opening the next and keep each booking together on the same coach. Your coach number is on your confirmation email. Because of the short notice, we can't move people between seats or coaches.
Where do I park?
That's your own responsibility, along with any charges if you park at a railway station or service area. Email events@central-connect.co.uk if you need anything.
Can I bring alcohol?
No. Passengers can't bring their own alcohol on board at any time travelling to or from the match.
Refunds & changes?
All tickets are non-refundable once booked, and due to the last-minute organisation seat or coach changes can't be accommodated. Full terms & conditions.
