Travel boost for Scotland fixtures at Murrayfield and Hampden

ScotRail will welcome thousands of sports fans during an exciting week of international sport, helping fans travel to two major home fixtures in Edinburgh and Glasgow.

The Scotland men’s national football team takes on North Macedonia in a crucial UEFA Nations League match at Barclays Hampden on Friday, 13 November at 19.45, before the men’s rugby team host Australia in the Nations Championship 2026 at Scottish Gas Murrayfield on Sunday, 15 November at 15.10.

To make travelling to and from both matches simple and convenient, ScotRail will operate additional services and extra carriages on key routes throughout each matchday.

Fans travelling to Hampden on Friday night will benefit from more services and extra carriages between Glasgow Central and Mount Florida, before and after the match.

Supporters heading to Scottish Gas Murrayfield on Sunday will benefit from additional services between Glasgow Queen Street and Edinburgh Waverley before and after the match.

There will be extra carriages on key routes, including between Edinburgh Waverley and Leven, Glenrothes with Thornton, Perth, Dundee, Dunblane, Stirling, and Tweedbank.

The nearest station to Murrayfield is Haymarket, a short walk or tram ride from the stadium.

Edinburgh Trams operate a fast and frequent service between the entrance of the stadium and St Andrew Square tram stop – a short walk from Edinburgh Waverley.

Edinburgh City Centre is also accessible from Scottish Gas Murrayfield on Lothian Bus services 1, 3, 12, 22, 25, 26, 30, 31 or 33.

After the final whistle, fans should make their way to a designated holding area on Haymarket Terrace, where they’ll be directed to the appropriate queue for their train home.

Fans attending either match should buy their return train tickets in advance via the ScotRail app, website, at a ticket office, or self-service ticket machine.

Phil Campbell, ScotRail Customer Operations Director, said:

“It’s set to be a bumper weekend for Scottish sport, and we’re looking forward to helping thousands of fans travel to both Hampden and Murrayfield to support the men’s national teams.

“We’re putting on more trains and extra carriages to make it easier for supporters to get to the matches and home again after the final whistle.

“Travelling by train is the best way to enjoy the occasion, avoid the traffic, and be part of the atmosphere from start to finish.”
