From the Evening Standard
Thousands of Harry Potter fans braved the rail strikes on Friday to gather at King’s Cross station in London for the annual Back to Hogwarts Day.
Dressed in wizard robes and carrying wands, fans of the franchise travelled to the station to hear the loudspeaker announcement for the Hogwarts Express at 11am, inviting witches and wizards to board the train to Hogsmeade at platform nine and three quarters.

From Harry Potter
The train left Platform 9¾ without fail every 1 September at 11 o'clock in the morning, arriving at Hogsmeade station in the early evening. Some students took the train back to King's Cross Station to go home for the Christmas and Easter holidays, but some did not, as they stayed at Hogwarts.
