Thinking of the train for Friday but not sure if I can make the last train to Glasgow. Any ideas how long it takes to walk from the stadium to the station.

About 30 mins I think. I'm pretty sure it's all downhill

Last direct train to Glasgow is 21:57 which is doable from the ground but you will need to leave the game early and run down the road. You can also get the 22:13 service to Haymarket and change there for the 23:34 to Glasgow Queen Street. You'd still need to nash down the road for the 22:13 train as well. It is a fair hike.

Only if your leg is called bell :greengrin


(Only joking HC :greengrin)

You definitely don't want to miss the train. Being stuck overnight in Dundee isn't desirable.
if the bus is an option, theres one at 22:40 from the bus station.
After midnight when it gets into Glasgow though.

Jump on a bus down the hill and you should be fine

You'd be taking quite a risk, mate. It really is quite far and you could easily miss it.

I actually really fancied going to Dens but moving it to the Friday has made that nigh on impossible.

When Hibs played there at half 12 on a Sunday last season, I had to jump on a train down to London for work related reasons. The last train from Dundee to London was 15:02, and the game finished just before half 2. It was a brisk walk, but I was comfortably there by 5 to 3. It being all downhill helps massively. Don't think the OP will have any problems at all making either train, especially if they get away from the exits quickly.

Leave early? Leave ****ing early?

You do know people who leave football matches early are worse than Hitler, Darth Vader and Wallace Mercer all rolled into one. Personally I think the OP should be willing to risk sleeping on the streets of Dundee rather than cause Hibs the embarrassment of an empty seat.

It's too long a walk for a man on your schedule
The bus down the hill is the shot.
Plan carefully.

It's only 2 1/2 miles and all downhill.
I managed it in 30 minutes last season and I'm no youngster. :greengrin

To the OP why not post up a new thread entitled "Lift wanted to Dens from Glasgow"?

Might hit lucky
