ScotRail is putting on additional services to and from Mount Florida on Wednesday night for the Scotland v Ukraine game at Hampden.

A temporary timetable, introduced last week because of driver shortages, is still in place and travellers are being warned services will be busy.

The reduction in trains means that there will be fewer options for fans making journeys to and from Glasgow before and after the match.

Ukraine fans are being advised to use services which are running to and from Mount Florida.

The last train to Edinburgh from Glasgow on Wednesday night leaves Queen Street at 22.15 which won't be of any use to fans attending the game.

Phil Campbell, ScotRail Head of Customer Operations, said: “We know this is a massive match for the Scottish national team and we are looking forward to helping supporters travel to Hampden to play their part in the occasion.

"It's an honour to welcome Ukraine fans to Glasgow.

“We’ll be doing everything we can to support fans travelling to the games by adding additional services where we can and more seats to trains where possible.

"The temporary timetable will still be in place, so it is important that fans plan ahead to make sure they are aware of their options for both getting into the city, and for completing their journey home.

“Regular commuters who travel home from Glasgow on the line via Mount Florida should be aware that services will be much busier than normal on Wednesday night with fans heading to the match.”
