Train times from Wolverhampton to London as thousands travel to pay respects to the Queen

Hundreds of thousands of people will line the streets of London this week, waiting to pay their final respects to the Queen at Westminster Hall.

Avanti West Coast is expecting train services to be very busy this week

Her late Majesty will lie in state in central London until 6.30am on Monday, the day of her funeral, with the Palace of Westminster open for 24 hours a day from 5pm on Wednesday so people can view her coffin.

The number of people expected to line up to view Elizabeth II lying in state is expected to exceed the 200,000 mourners who paid their respect to the Queen Mother in 2002.

Avanti West Coast, which runs trains from Wolverhampton to London Euston via Sandwell & Dudley and Birmingham New Street, is one of many train companies warning people that services are expected to be very busy.

"We recognise that many of our customers will make their way to London and other destinations around the country to pay their respects at Royal residences," the train operator said.

"This could lead to exceptionally busy services and station closures over the mourning period as well as on the day of the funeral."

Those hoping to travel to London by train are being advised to check before they travel and leave as much time as possible.

These are the train times from Wolverhampton to London over the next few days, up until the last one to arrive before the state funeral starts at 11am on Monday.
