jif Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 I'm hoping to get over for this on the 7th February, but I'm looking for a wee bit of help. To maximise my trip, I'm taking in a Ice Hockey game the same night as the Belfast Giants are playing Braehead Clan at the Braehead Arena(at the minute top 2 teams in the league and the last time the Giants came over, the Arena sold out). I have been on AA route Planner and it claims that it will only take 12 minutes to get from Firhill to the Arena. So what I would like to know is, if the game goes to extra time What are the chances on a Saturday night after the game, of getting to the arena by 1830. Is there a bus that can get me from Maryhill to the arena If I need to grab a taxi, how much roughly, will it cost. Cheers Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaggy Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 no extra time for our game, only if it's a replay does ET come in to it. No idea about travel sorry but you should have plenty time to get a bus I would have thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 It can't go to extra time. Replay if a draw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I regularly get a bus into Renfield St (city centre) and I've never been later than 5.25. I don't know the buses out to Braehead but I'd be very surprised if you can't get there for at the latest 6.15. So if nobody has a better route after the game make your way to Maryhill Rd at Queens X (5mins). Any bus to Renfrew St (there for 5.20ish), walk to BuchananSt Bus St (5mins max) and whatever bus from there. Seem to mind you giving travel advice re Glentoran game and it was most helpful.

JeanieD Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 (edited) Leave sharpish - walk down to St George's X subway station (10-15mins) - take subway to Partick (another 10-15 mins) - get off and go upstairs to bus stances directly opposite entrance - get the 747 Glasgow Airport bus and it will drop you at Braehead: http://www.firstgrou...or=10&source=sp Hope link works.

Cheers Jon Hi, After the Killie game a few weeks back some friends and I walked down to the Woody, had a pint, decided to go to the hockey, walked up to Park Circus where we were staying, got changed, phoned for tickets, phoned for a taxi and got to Braehead about ten-fifteen minutes before face off.

Surprised you didn't send him to the Renfrew Ferry knowing your penchant for things that float on the watter. Missed the boat there Jeanie D.

Alternatively, stay on the subway to Govan. Directly outside the entrance is a bus-stop where you have a choice of 21,23 or 26 buses, all of which call in at Braehead.

The No9 first bus does an alternative braehead route too, so yeah Govan or Cessnock too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
partickthedog Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 Could all the posters go by their different routes and see who gets there first? Might be a new version of Monte Carlo or bust. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambies Lost Doo Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 I'd just get a taxi. A lot easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GinolasBald Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 If I need to grab a taxi, how much roughly, will it cost. The taxi app on my phone (for a private car) says that from Firhill to Braehead Arena it'll be £11.20, would imagine it would be a bit more in a black cab.

Derby Jag Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 You would pay a boundary charge in a black hack so Id expect it to come to around £17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
