    Mount Florida certainly slightly closer if you are in the North, but its at the Aberdeen end, so would expect Hibs fans to be directed towards the trains to Kings Park

    I think Mount Florida is slightly closer to the north stand than Kings Park. Trains to MF are more frequent as well and the route is more straightforward - get off the train, go up the steps in front of you (assuming you're facing the same direction as the train) and turn left, follow the road straight and you'll come to the north stand.

    Thanks to both of you - appreciated.

    I'll be heading towards the platform at Glasgow Central for train heading to Mount Florida anyway since I've already checked times and they seem to fit better with my travel arrangements....

    If I'm diverted towards Kings Park then so be it, should still have plenty of time.

    Thanks again.

    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, vodka in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming, "WOO HOO what a ride!"

    If you're getting a train to Queen Street you'll need to get down to Central for a train out to Hampden. It's about a 15 minute walk, or one stop on the subway - St Enoch subway station is a couple of minutes from Central.

    But Broxburn's taxi suggestion is easier

    The First Bus number 75 goes from the city centre to Hampden, I'm not sure where the stop is though. The subway is right next door to Queen Street, take the right hand exit from the station and you'll see the subway in front of you.

    If you want to ensure you don't get lost you might be better off in a taxi - years since I used one but Glasgow taxis were always much cheaper than Edinburgh ones in my experience.

    Glasgow taxis indeed much cheaper than ours.
    But if arriving at Queen St getting to Central is a straightforward 5 minute walk, there will be hundreds of others making same journey on foot, I wouldn't worry about it.

    If you've got your train ticket there's a free bus that runs between both stations. It's a straight forward walk though and only takes 10 mins. Just walk down Queen St till you get to Argylle St, turn right and walk to you come to Central station. I'll be there about 11am if you want to follow me . Better yet, follow the other Hibs fans and the sheep .
    If their doing any football specials tomorrow it'll be to Mount Florida so I'm getting the train tickets to there.

    Not a good start. Livi to Central cancelled. One hour less beer!

    Not really a train/line you should be relying on.

    I know. Would have saved getting into Edinburgh first and it was the express version. Well, should have been.
