Any one else finding it difficult to get a bus hired for the final. Scottish football mucks it up again putting a national cup final on the same day that Scotlanad play France in Edinburgh. Any ideas on who to contact?

TBH having an international rugby match on the same day as the final shouldn't really impact on the getting a bus, most people get to Murrayfield by train, plus it's against France.

Good luck. Prices being quoted are ridiculous.

The majority of these come from either north or south, very few from the central belt and it's been said we now have the borders rail link open.

Try getting yourself to Eskbank, Gorebridge or Newtongrange, there's a new railway there you know.

We hire an East Kilbride 8 seater. He comes through am drops us at hotel and he can continue working until about 4.30 in EK. Roughly £25 a head door to door. You can also enjoy a couple of beers on the way through. And coming back hopefully.

We started phoning around on Monday morning.
Most companies immediately said they were full (we called quite a few). The only local company to offer us a bus was AAA Coaches. Cost was £700 plus a £500 security bond (refundable if no damage to bus etc).
Eventually got a bus from Rennies of Dunfermline. 49 seater was just under £600. That's for a fairly early start and pick ups in east and west Edinburgh.
After booking with Rennies, coachhire.com got back to me with a decent quote so it might be worth trying them. They act as an agent for various coach companies - many of which will be outside Edinburgh and therefore cheaper.
All the companies I spoke to stressed that there would be no alcohol on the bus.
Good luck

If you do get a bus and are looking for somewhere to go, Picture House in Rutherglen have an early opening license from 11 and have plenty space left for coach bookings.
