Rail woes predicted for north-east Tartan Army members travelling to Euro 2020 qualifiers

Aberdeen Central MSP Kevin Stewart has written to ScotRail asking for additional train services to the Granite City to cater for fans attending the Euro 2020 qualifiers.

Members of the public have contacted Mr Stewart followings concerns around the lack of transport provision after the games.

All of the matches will be played at Hampden Park with the vast majority planned to kick off at 7.45pm.

This will mean matches finish after the last train to Aberdeen has departed.

Mr Stewart said: “I’ve asked ScotRail to look at what can be done to help folk from Aberdeen, and the North East, travel to these important fixtures.

“This has become a real issue given the lack of games being played on a Saturday afternoon so it is important that all options are explored.

“We’re in a situation where fans would have leave Hampden shortly after half time in order to catch the 21.40 service from Glasgow Queen Street to Aberdeen.

“As things stand, fans will either have to travel by bus, car or stay down in Glasgow overnight.

“Hopefully ScotRail can play their part in getting behind the Scottish national team and make it as easy as possible for folk from the North East to cheer Scotland on to EURO 2020.”

It is understood kick-off times will restrict the level of service that can be provided, given constraints such as access to the railway through the night and track and train maintenance.

A ScotRail spokesman said: “We will announce our plans for each of the Euro 2020 qualifying fixtures closer to the time.”

The Euro 2020 qualifiers will take place between March 2019 and March 2020.
