ScotRail has confirmed that more services and more seating will be made available for football fans making their way to Hampden Park as Scotland hosts Cyprus and Spain on the following dates:

• Scotland vs Cyprus on Saturday the 25th of March at 2pm.
• Scotland vs Spain on Tuesday the 28th of March at 7.45pm.

The extra train services with increased capacity will operate both to and from Mount Florida which is the closest station to Hampden.

Customers using train services on the 25th and 28th of March are reminded that trains will be busier than usual and it is important to plan travel ahead of making a journey. Passengers are also asked to be patient with ScotRail staff as they aim to get people on board trains safely.

Regular commuters who travel on Neilston services will also find trains a lot busier than usual as fans make their way to the Spain game on Tuesday the 28th of March.

Rail customers will find queuing systems in operation at Glasgow Central prior to both games and also at Mount Florida station following the final whistle on both dates. ScotRail will have extra staff members available to support customers.

In order to keep queueing to a minimum, customers are advised to purchase return tickets to Mound Florida ahead by using the mTicket system on the ScotRail app. mTicket system allows customers to buy tickets at home or whilst making their way to the station and show up immediately on their mobile device.

Carrying and consuming alcohol on ScotRail trains and at ScotRail stations is prohibited.

Phil Campbell, ScotRail’s Head of Customer Operations, said: “Everyone at ScotRail wishes the Scotland men’s national team the best of luck as they begin their qualifying campaign for the European Championships in 2024.

“We’re adding more seats to trains between Glasgow Central and Mount Florida to help fans get to and from the matches against Cyprus and Spain at Hampden Park.

“To keep people moving as quickly and safely as possible, customers should plan their journeys in advance and buy their return tickets to Mount Florida before they board.”
