What did the officials say?
ScotRail Alliance Head of Customer Experience, Graham Heald said “The Six Nations is one of the big sporting highlights of the year, and the ScotRail Alliance is pleased to help make things run smoothly. We are providing extra seats on key routes into Edinburgh and will be using all available trains on the day. Customers are advised to allow extra time for travel and to buy their ticket in advance, not on the day. For customers travelling with children, our Kids Go Free tickets are the perfect fit – they allow up to two children, aged 5-15, to travel free with each adult.”
