London Train & Tube Stations Set For Barclays WSL Airwaves Takeover

Three of London’s rail stations will have a Barclays Women’s Super League (WSL) takeover to mark a historic weekend for the top two tiers of women’s football later this week.

Across the weekend of 16 & 17 November, for the first time ever, all eleven games across the Barclays WSL and Barclays Women’s Championship will be played in each home side’s respective main stadia.

This includes a North London derby between Spurs and Arsenal at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and a top-of-the-table meeting between Chelsea and Manchester City at Stamford Bridge.

And to celebrate the milestone, the Women’s Professional Leagues and Transport for London (TfL) have joined forces to have a number of iconic Barclays WSL players on the overground and underground airwaves.

In the stations closest to the aforementioned grounds – White Hart Lane, Seven Sisters and Fulham Broadway – those traveling to the games will be welcomed into the stations by the voices of some of the league’s biggest names.

Bethany England (Tottenham Hotspur), Lotte Wubben-Moy (Arsenal), Lucy Bronze (Chelsea), and Alex Greenwood (Manchester City) have worked with TfL to record special announcements that will play out across the stations in the run up to kick-off at the matches.

Fans are also being encouraged to ground-hop using the London Overground and Underground to travel between each game, with Spurs against Arsenal kicking off at 1.45pm (due to finish at approximately 3.45pm), and Chelsea versus Manchester City starting at 5.30pm.

Finally, the coming weeks will also see the introduction of the Lioness line on the London Overground to celebrate the achievements of the England women’s national football team.
