McGill's Buses go the extra mile to keep Scotland fans moving on world cup nights
1 week ago
McGill’s Buses is helping Scotland fans make the most of this summer’s World Cup action by adding extra late-night buses for the national team’s biggest fixtures — and launching a brand-new N26 night bus route.
With thousands of supporters expected to gather in pubs, fan zones and homes across the west of Scotland for a run of late kick-offs, McGill’s is expanding its night bus network to help fans enjoy every minute of the action and still get home safely after the final whistle.
· For Scotland’s opening fixture on Sunday 14 June, which kicks off at 2am, McGill’s usual Saturday night/Sunday morning night bus network will run as normal, with services on the N3, N4, N6, N26, N38 and N60 operating for an additional hour after the final scheduled departure.
· On Friday 19 June, fans will be able to use McGill’s standard Friday night/Saturday morning night bus services, now including the brand-new N26 route, serving Charing Cross, Govan Interchange, Kings Inch Road and Renfrew Fire Station.
· For Scotland’s final group-stage match on Wednesday 24 June, which kicks off at 11pm, McGill’s will run its full weekend night bus timetable on Wednesday night into Thursday morning, helping supporters get home after the match is expected to finish at around 1am.
Neil Dryden, McGill's HR, Training & Recruitment Director, said:
“World Cup nights are special occasions and we know supporters will want to enjoy every minute of the Scotland matches without worrying about how they are getting home afterwards.
“That is why we are putting on extra late-night journeys for key fixtures and launching our new N26 night bus route, giving customers even more options to travel safely after the final whistle.
“Whether fans are watching in the city centre, meeting friends locally or travelling home after a late night, our night bus network will help keep people moving during what promises to be an exciting summer for Scotland supporters.”
Customers are encouraged to check the latest timetables and service updates on McGill’s website and social media channels, where any additional announcements for future fixtures will be shared.
Fans should also look out for the chance to win a Scotland top across McGill’s social channels during the tournament.
