Travelling by train to/from Edinburgh?
ScotRail is adding additional services and extra carriages between Edinburgh Waverley and Glasgow Queen Street to help manage the expected increase in passenger numbers.
Rugby fans are being urged to plan ahead and allow additional time for travel, particularly on their journey home, due to limited access at Haymarket Station caused by the ongoing redevelopment of an adjacent building. Any customers travelling from Haymarket will be required to use the main entrance. Train customers should expect longer waiting times, and passengers are asked to consider travelling straight to Edinburgh Waverley after the final whistle to reduce their need to queue, or postponing their travel home until later in the evening.
Lothian Buses and Edinburgh Trams provide links into the city centre, so please consider travelling onwards to Waverley Station with us if you need to travel by train after the match. More information is available on ScotRail’s website.
