Written by Glasgow View Reporter, Liam Eunson
ScotRail is scheduling more seats and services to help international football fans heading to Barclays Hampden for Scotland’s UEFA Nations League match against Slovenia.
The men’s national team host Boštjan Cesar’s side at the national stadium on Tuesday, 6 October at 19:45.
To assist fans travel to and from the game, ScotRail has confirmed extra carriages and additional services will operate between Glasgow Central and Mount Florida before and after the match.
Mount Florida is just a five-minute walk from the stadium, and customers should travel early and allow plenty of time for entry into the ground.
Regular customers who travel via Mount Florida should be aware services may be busier than usual before the match.
Queuing systems will be in place at Glasgow Central before the game and at Mount Florida after the final whistle. To ensure a smooth journey home, fans are encouraged to head back to Mount Florida station as quickly as possible after the match.
Customers should join the queue for Mount Florida on Bolton Drive, which is accessed via Cathkinview Road. All other roads leading to the station will be closed to football traffic.
To keep things moving, Cathcart station is available for customers travelling home via Neilston, and people heading to stations via Newton should consider travelling from Kings Park station.
Fans should buy their return tickets in advance via the ScotRail app, website, at a ticket office, or self-service ticket machine.
Phil Campbell, ScotRail Customer Operations Director, said:
“Scotland’s match against Slovenia is shaping up to be a really important fixture in the Nations League campaign and we’re looking forward to helping fans travel to and from the match.
“To make their journey as seamless as possible, we’ll be adding more seats and extra services to and from Mount Florida – before and after the game.
“Mount Florida station is only a short walk from the stadium, making travel with ScotRail a convenient, reliable, and greener way to get to the match.
“Fans should plan ahead, allow some extra time for their journey, and buy their return tickets in advance.”
