SCOTRAIL Alliance and British Transport Police (BTP) are issuing travel advise ahead of the World Cup qualifier.

Extra carriages will be added to services on Saturday, June 10, between Edinburgh and Glasgow via Falkirk High, as well as on key services between Glasgow, Aberdeen, Kilmarnock, East Kilbride, Alloa and Stirling. However, services are still expected to be very busy.

Scotland fans will be directed to Mount Florida station before and after the game, while England supporters must use to King’s Park. 

Additional carriages and services will be running between Glasgow Central and Hampden before and after the game.

Alcohol bans will be in place on many routes, and customers are reminded that the consumption or open carrying of alcohol is not permitted on any ScotRail service before 10am or after 9pm. 

Officers will be patrolling the network before and after the game, to reassure the travelling public and to deter anti-social and criminal behaviour.

Chief Superintendent John McBride, leading the operation for BTP, said: “This is a mighty event for both teams and we’re looking forward to welcoming spectators as they arrive in Glasgow. 

"Our policing operation will stretch the breadth of the nation and will involve a large number of officers.

“I would like to remind passengers travelling longer distances, that there will be few trains departing after the final whistle. 

"Therefore, I would urge them to plan ahead and make sure they have booked accommodation or alternative travel options.

“Passengers are of course the eyes and ears of the rail network and I would ask them to remain vigilant on their journey and report suspicious behaviour to us.”
