ScotRail has announced it will be adding extra train carriages and running extra services for rugby fans travelling to the Scotland V England rugby match at the BT Murrayfield Stadium.

The match is on Saturday 24th February 2018, with kick off at 4:45 pm. To help keep everybody moving, will be running extra services before the match between Glasgow Queen Street and Haymarket.

Additional carriages will be added to the following routes to/from Edinburgh:

  • Glasgow Queen Street (via Falkirk High)
  • Glasgow Central (via Shotts)
  • Fife Circle
  • Dunblane
  • Dundee and Perth
  • Helensburgh (via Bathgate and Glasgow Queen Street low level)

Please allow extra time for your journey. Trains both to and from Edinburgh will be very busy.

As with most large events, alcohol bans will be in force.

What did the officials say?

ScotRail Alliance Head of Customer Experience Graham Heald said “Scotland versus England is one of the biggest games in the rugby calendar, and we will be doing all we can to make things run smoothly. While we are providing extra seats on key routes to and from Edinburgh, we are expecting the last trains of the night to be very busy. Customers should plan their journeys in advance and allow extra time for travel. To save time, we recommend customers buy their ticket in advance, not on the day. For customers travelling with children, our Kids Go Free tickets are the perfect fit – they allow up to two children, aged 5-15, to travel free with an adult.”
