ScotRail is set to add more services on a Glasgow route this weekend due to a big event.

The rail firm has announced it will add more seats and additional services to support travel to and from Scotland's men's international rugby match at Murrayfield.

The clash will see Scotland take on Australia on Sunday, November 24, at 1.40pm in their final game of the Famous Grouse Nations Series.

Ahead of the event, ScotRail has revealed it will add additional services between Haymarket and Glasgow Queen Street before and after the match, as well as extra carriages on trains between Edinburgh Waverley and Fife, Perth, Dunblane, and the Borders Railway throughout the day. 

However, rugby fans are being warned to expect longer queuing times for the train home after the game due to limited access at Haymarket station caused by the ongoing redevelopment of an adjacent building.

The building work has restricted access to Haymarket and reduced the capacity within the station by half, which means some customers may be redirected to Edinburgh Waverley to catch their train due to the limited space available within Haymarket station. 

ScotRail is asking fans 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.

Phil Campbell, ScotRail Customer Operations Director, said: “We’re really looking forward to helping fans travel to and from Scotland’s final match of this year’s Nations Series against former world champions, Australia. 

“We’ll be adding more seats and more services to support travel to and from the match, and customers are encouraged to plan ahead.

“Buying your mTickets in advance on the ScotRail app will reduce your need to queue on the day, and help make your journey a seamless one.” 

A spokesperson for ScotRail said: "ScotRail will have extra staff on hand to assist customers, and the train operator is reminding everyone that the carrying and consumption of alcohol is prohibited on ScotRail trains and in ScotRail stations."
