England fans travelling to Wembley for Thursday's World Cup Qualifier have been handed a fillip with the news that the planned Tube strike has been called off.
Supporters would have faced a challenging task making it to the national stadium, where victory for Gareth Southgate's team will secure their place at next year's finals in Russia.
Measures which had have been put in place to assist fans in getting to the game in light of industrial action will, however, remain in place.
These include an enhanced coach network to the stadium from across the UK, following consultation with National Express, the FA's transport partner.
A shuttle service especially for match-ticket holders will also operate from Waterloo and King's Cross rail stations, while TFL will also be running additional buses, including on local bus routes to the stadium.
There are also be regular rail services to the stadium from Marylebone via Willesden Junction.
Additional parking will also be available near Wembley and if the strike goes ahead and supporters are no longer able to attend the match, they will automatically be refunded within 28 days.
"The FA is committed to help as many supporters as possible attend the match," an FA statement read.
"Over the past few days we have been working with TFL and our transport partner National Express to set up a range of transport options to help you get to and from Wembley.
"These additional services will remain in place."
