TMB 14,167 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Go to Shawlands and then just walk through the park. I myself, will be taking a scooter with every intention of driving it right through the park. Criminally insane? Maybe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like I'm either doing 09:06 Edinburgh Waverley (Plat 10) 10:24 Glasgow Queen Street (Plat 8) or 09:30 Edinburgh Waverley (Plat 14) 10:49 Glasgow Queen Street (Plat 9) Nowhere will be selling booze at that time or on the trains though???

I've not caught the glasgow train since the works started, no idea yet what time to leave from edinburgh Just checked Scotrail website, probably get the train leaving Falkirk High at 9.35 arriving Queen Street, then walk to Central Station and catch train to Mount Florida. Think I will buy ticket before Sunday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But southdown1916 is the boy who runs that bus fire him a pm. A decent bunch and pretty accommodating. Looks a great wee place in there, picked up a ticket after it was just done up, going to head in for a pint after the summer before a game. Southdown sorted me with a few tickets this year, good guy Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rfc_watp 1,503 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I got the train from central to mount florida for the league cup final 2011. Not a mhank in site. Think they get it from Queen Street to Kings park but could be wrong. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirrhillLoyal 318 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Edinburgh Union Jack leaves from haymarket and picks up at Corstorphine. Get in touch with them, as far as I'm aware they are coming straight home from the game, possibly dropping a few of us in Shotts Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheQueensEleven 1,355 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I'm heading over from Paisley myself, probably just get the train to Central and then to Mount Florida. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sent them a message on facebook and I don't even use facebook! Couldn't see a website for them either. They're not even mentioned on the official site but that's unfortunately been an outdated mess for years. That sort of shite the new club 1872 needs to sort out Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue72 1,102 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Train from central to mount Florida, they were running every 10/15 mins on Sunday. think there's a bus on from queen street to central cos of the works. Getting back through queen street was a nightmare though Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveEarle 9,743 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 We gotta taxi out to Hampden last Sunday from outside the Camperdown bar near Queen St. I'm sure it was only £6-£7. Got dropped outside Clockwork but it was queued out the door. We persisted and got in for a few nips before kick off. After the game we headed out and got on what appeared to be the first public bus we saw for about £2 and it slowly got us back to St Enoch. The travelling was really not bad although it will no doubt be ramped up a bit come Sunday. Good luck with getting out to the game. Lucky sods!!??

That's what I'm doing mate, 9.39 from Milliken park to Central then the special from Central straight through to Mount Florida. Return ticket to Mount Florida from Milliken park cost only 4.50. Done it on Sunday with no problems, the trains were mobbed but the longest I had to wait was 15 minutes in a queue at Mount Florida after the match. Might be a bit different this Sunday though, will just need to wing it and see what happens. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I got a taxi there from Central last Sunday, but that was because it allowed everyone to squeeze in some extra pre-match pints.

LochendBilly 8,410 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 If you are struggling mate, give me a wee shout and I'll pick you up and drop you at Hamdump! Didn't get a ticket so would need to get you there about 1130 to allow me time to get back to watch on the telly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno if that still works....not been to an OF game at Hampdump for a while...... i would imagine that Septic fans will alight at Kings Park. and Rangers fans of course Mount Florida. i think there is bound to be some sort of segregation involved and have different trains for fans of each side Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm originally from Rutherglen/Kings Park area and I always walked to Hampden - I just remember a total Timfestation of Rutherglen on cup-final days when the mhank's were involved Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
glasgow argyle 1,093 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 sure the tims all gathered there to see the " Union Jack" flying from the town hall, lol i am originally from that area myself and could walk to Hampden, Cathkin Park (gave my age away) Shawfield and even Porkheid, when i was a bit younger.

Aye - you did! I'm sure my old man told me about Third Lanark when I was a bairn! I remember when the Bully Wee played at Shawfield - before it went to the dogs! And the UJ still flies proudly from the Town Hall - much to the chagrin of the attendees of the "mhanky hoose" opposite! :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
