    Which circle line tube station? Marylebone is on the Bakerloo.

    The nearest to walk from would be Baker street - I think.

    Fair play. I've made similar arrangements but it's cost me 65 quid including travelcard.

    Don't know why people are getting all these train changes from kings cross to wembley...

    ...you can get on ONE TUBE TRAIN all the way to Wembley, takes about 20 minutes. While they were building Wembley I went to have a look, got off train from Donny at Kings Cross, straight down to tube (can't remember line name although it was represented by a brown line on the map), got off tube 20 odd minutes later, stadium was immediately visible on coming out of tube station and took maybe 10 minutes (roads were a pain to cross) to walk up to it.

    For some reason these web sites that plan the journey for you seem to guide you on some unnessesary route...just ignore them and jump on the tube when you get there. Maybe it's a cost issue?

    My advice is get one of the these day passes for the tube that include up to zone 5/6, cost about £7 which is good value if you are use the tube on more than two occasions in one day.

    Isn't it Metropolitan line westbound?

    No changes necessary?

    Not bad that mate. Although.

    Nice steady stroll down to my local before 9am, get on coach, get dropped off @ Wembley £25. Which includes getting dropped off back @ local after.
