If there had been trains we would have got that. how do you get to a midweek game without taking time off work? Cycle, get a bus or some other eco friendly option.

Texas Pete Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 If Transport Scotland suspended all roadworks every time there was a big sporting/music event in Glasgow or Edinburgh nothing would ever get done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lion Rampant Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 (edited) There was a bad accident on the M8 at Heartlands that happened around 4.30ish that night so that's why that was so busy. Whether the road was 2 lanes or 6 lanes that was going to cause a huge holdup. It's also the busiest time of the day you decided to leave at, I'd have probably left earlier than 4.30 from Edinburgh if I was you but I accept that may not have been an option.

We left Edinburgh at 4:15pm as we’d planned on getting a scran in Glasgow before the game. Took two and a half hours to get through, so just went straight to Hampden for 7pm and ate there. Ed Sheeran was playing in Glasgow too so that, along with the accident, made it a lot busier than normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to get back down to the north stand as he’s big enough to see without me holding him up now. South upper is the best view but certainly no the best atmosphere. Think we were the only ones jumping about to ‘Freed from Desire’ at full time 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think keeping on top of the live traffic situation is key, we were up the M9 til Linlithgow, bit of cross country over to the M8 missing all the accident traffic and then straight over to our usual parking spot.
