12.15 kick off reminder for semi final and travel question ?

[GreenCastle]

Just a little reminder that it's not 12.30!

Also wth a large Hibs support travelling through I would give plenty time for travel.

Does the work on the M8 affect the journey ?

It may well do so, the "Missing Link" is complete, but it doesn't open until this Sunday Westbound and next Sunday 30th Eastbound according to the transport Scotland website.

Wheres this work planned?

We will be driving through and had planned to M8 > M73 >M74 but obviously living down here no nothing of any travel disruptions/road works?

Planned to leave around 9:30 - this be a safe time people think? :aok:

[GreenCastle]

Has anyone drove to Hampden the last few weeks and confirm if the roadworks are having any impact from Edinburgh or is it ok ?

Was thinking leaving 9am / 9.30am going M8 - M73 - M74 - google maps says 1 hour 10 mins

Not if you're starting off in Essex - I'd give it an extra hour 🙄🙄🙄

Traffic is generally murder heading west as you approach the Newhouse Ind. Est. onwards,at least it is during week days. I would still allow a bit of extra travel time as most traffic will be heading for the M74.

Take the M8, it takes you up a slip road to the right in the same area as you would normally go left to the M73.

Follow the road round to left hand side and get yourself in the left hand lane as you get to the bridge that goes over the M8. There's a yellow sign saying M73/74 for left lane and Glasgow for the right lane.

Miss that and it's an long road for a shortcut.

Please be aware it is just a small sign so make sure you or the bus drivers are paying attention :)
