Gala Tartan Army (Borders) Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 We have to get the 22.30 Queen Street train back to Waverley in order to get the last train home from Waverley at 23.54 - I dont usually get train so wondered if there will be enough time after Poland game to make it from Hampden to Queen Street?

Gala Tartan Army (Borders) Posted September 22, 2015 Author Share Posted September 22, 2015 55 minute walk according to Google maps so would be tight but might be better option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deecie Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 55 minute walk according to Google maps so would be tight but might be better option. Start walking and flag a taxi en-route. That's what I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tup "O" The North Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Ok - will just have to bolt straight to train station at full time. I've see you trying to walk after a day on the lash! Book a taxi min. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Endell Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Aye - walk it - half an hour - no bother at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Endell Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Allow 45mins to be on the safe side. It takes me that to walk into the city centre and I live a 10-minute walk south of Hampden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flora MaDonald Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 A brisk walk from Hampden to Queen St can be done in under 30 mins no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarky1606 Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 my knowledge of Glasgow tubes is limited but the following could work depending on times?? 15 min walk to Rutherglen station then its 2 stops on the tube to Central then the short walk to Queen Street?

Barney Rubble Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Better to walk to Bridge St Underground (20 minutes) then two stops to Buchanan St and you're at Queen Street station (5-10 minutes max). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotts56 Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 2.9 mile walk from Hampden to Queen Street. I would say about 40-45 mins, assuming average walking speed of 4mph. I would do that rather than get the Mount Florida train. There are big unknowns there with the length of queue and frequency of service (they dont do football specials any more), plus you would have to get from Central to Queen St as well. I've walked to Rutherglen station as well, its more like a half hour walk. But you would still have to wait on/get a train back to Central and then walk to Queen St. Seems a round about road for a short cut. Get out the stadium pronto and walk to Queen St would be my bet.

Charlie Endell Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Rutherglen isn't a 'tube' station - although between Brigton and Central Low Level it's a 'cut and shut' line so I can see why you'd think that. Hoofing it all the way (possibly hailing a fast black on the way if you stumble across one) or getting on at Cathcart / Crosshill / Queens Park stations are the best options.

Squirrelhumper Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Not a hope. Can you not walk? I walk from St Vincent Street to Shawlands after work all the time in under 30 mins, Hampden to Queen Street easily done in an hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Endell Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 I've seen taxis waiting for their bookings outside Hampden after games (and chancers trying to hijack them), so definitely possible. Buses on Aikenhead Road and Vicky Road routes will get held up making their way past Hampden - best bus route to opt for would be Pollokshaws Road (10 / 15 minute walk from Hampden). There are plenty of post-game transport options - just don't follow the sheep queuing at Mount Florida. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dandydon Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 I got the train back from Mount Florida to Central after the Germany match, arriving back at Central at exactly 1030. I was in the West Stand for the match and was out of the stadium pretty swiftly too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
