pj_1872 0 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Hi folks, Looking for some advice re getting the train to Hampden from city centre and then back again after the match. I'm assuming train from Central to Mt Florida is the best option? My thinking was to get a train about 1.5 hours before kick off, and join the queue at Mt Florida after the game for the train back into Central. How long do you generally have to queue at both stations etc? Any trouble on the trains? Any advice much appreciated. (admin if this is more at home in one of the other rooms please move it. I'm aware it's not strictly Rangers related.) 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluedell 5,354 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Yes, Mount Florida would be the closest station. I've never used it on match dasy so I can't answer your other questions but walking up to Cathcart Station at the end of the game may be a better option. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pj_1872 0 Posted October 19, 2016 Author Share Posted October 19, 2016 Just came across this link from last year's Cup Semi... I assume this will still be the guidelines for this Sunday. http://www.eveningtimes.co.uk/news/13301134.Advice__Scotrail_issue_train_details_for_Old_Firm_fans_heading_to_Hampden/ 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
boabie 230 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Remember you can use the Cathcart Outer Circle train - ie going the "wrong way", from Mount Florida as well as the Cathcart Inner circle train. It takes longer but will get you to Central. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,182 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Train into Hampden are usually busy but regular enough with queues at the station. After the game they're less regular so, if you're able, you'd be just as quick walking back into town - part of the way at least. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooponthewing 1,139 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 It's usually not a bad shout to just walk up to shawlands cross. Get a bus from there. It will be mobbed anyway you go TBH. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a few hills involved in that journey Coop. If I was going to be walking any distance I'd rather take the flat roads to Victoria Rd, etc. But agreed, it'll be mobbed. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranger_syntax 3,792 Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Have you considered cycling to the game? You could beat the traffic and the crowds. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
