Many people in the Falkirk Council area are expected to go out to watch World Cup matches this summer.

Some fixtures are due to kick off late at night or during the early hours. This means buses, trains and taxis may be limited by the time matches finish.

Before you go out, please plan how you will get home.

Check before you travel

Do not assume your usual buses or trains will still be running after the match.

Before leaving home:

Taxis and private hire

Taxis and private hire vehicles may be busier than normal on match nights.

Book in advance where possible. Do not wait until the end of the match to make arrangements.

You can find information about local taxi operators on the Visit Falkirk website: Getting here by taxi

Driving and parking

If you are driving, check parking arrangements before you travel.

Falkirk Council has information on public car parks and park and ride locations across the area.

Never drink alcohol and drive.

Accessible local transport

People who have mobility difficulties and cannot use standard public transport may be able to use Dial-a-Journey.

Journeys need to be booked in advance.

Main message

Enjoy the World Cup but plan your journey home before you go out.

Check your transport before leaving, stay local where you can, and have a back-up plan.
