Edinburgh Tartan Army warned as huge train strike to hit Waverley this weekend

ScotRail has warned football fans who are set to return from the England vs Scotland Euro clash tomorrow to make sure they have planned their travel home to Edinburgh as there is set to be a huge train strike this weekend.

Fewer than 15 per cent of ScotRail services will be running north of the border because of ongoing strike action by the RMT union in a dispute about overtime payments.

The strike action - which will affect Scotland supporters arriving into Edinburgh Waverley - has been confirmed to run until Sunday, 25 July.

Fans are also being reminded that any services that are available will be subject to ScotRail’s alcohol ban which is still in force during the tournament.

Phil Campbell, ScotRail Head of Customer Operations, said: “We hope Scottish fans returning from Wembley will be celebrating after the England game and the last thing we want to do is put a dampener on their party spirit.

“However, yet again, the unjustified and disruptive Sunday strike action called by the RMT union, is inconveniencing customers at the worst time.

“We are urging fans coming back on Sunday to make sure they have made plans for their onward journeys after they arrive at Glasgow Central station or Edinburgh Waverley.”

Further games are due to be played at Hampden during the tournament and the train operator is offering free travel between Glasgow Central and Mount Florida to fans with valid match tickets, thanks to a partnership with Glasgow City Council and UEFA.
