No extra Glasgow to Edinburgh trains following Scotland v Ukraine match

Edinburgh fans heading to Hampden Park on Wednesday for the Scotland v Ukraine game will not make the last train home from Glasgow.

ScotRail is now urging Scotland fans to plan ahead for the World Cup play-off match against Ukraine as the temporary train timetable remains in place.

The reduction in services will mean fewer options for fans making journeys to and from Glasgow, both before and after the match.

The last train to Edinburgh departing Glasgow Queen Street is 2215, on which those attending the match will be unlikely to catch.

The final service to the capital is 30 minutes after the match is due to finish (excluding extra time for penalties etc).

To ensure fans get to the game, ScotRail have added some additional services to Mount Florida.

A statement from Scotrail reads: "Customers travelling from Glasgow Central to Hampden Park on Wednesday, 1 June, will benefit from some additional services to and from Mount Florida, and extra carriages on trains to Mount Florida and Kings Park – the closest stations to the ground.

"Visiting Ukraine fans who decide to travel by rail should use services to and from Mount Florida.

Supporters heading to the game are advised to allow additional time for travel as services will still be busy. Purchasing their return tickets to Mount Florida in advance will help to avoid additional queuing on the day.

"Regular customers should be aware that trains from Glasgow Central to Mount Florida and Kings Park will be much busier than normal prior to the game."

The temporary timetable for Monday – Saturday Friday can be viewed online at scotrail.co.uk/timetable-update.
