Edinburgh Trams will once again be running additional services for a major rugby match at Murrayfield Stadium with an enhanced service due to run on Saturday 27th December 2025 for the 1872 Cup match between Edinburgh Rugby and Glasgow Warriors.
Since 1872 the two sides have contested club rugby’s oldest derby in a clash that sees national team-mates turned into rivals. There are two matches in the contest – one in Glasgow and one in Edinburgh – with the first match taking place on 20th December in Glasgow before the return match on 27th December in Edinburgh. Last year each side one their respective home ties but Glasgow Warriors were the winners on aggregate 40-21. In fact its was the 2021-22 season the last time that Edinburgh were triumphant.
Sarah Singh, Head of Service Delivery at Edinburgh Trams, said: “The 1872 Cup is always a sporting calendar highlight here in Edinburgh, and this year is expected to be no different. With fans gearing up for the epic showdown between Edinburgh and Glasgow, our staff will be on hand to make sure supporters get there as efficiently as possible.
“We’re encouraging those heading to Murrayfield for the match to plan their journey and buy tickets in advance so they can have ease of mind on the day as they make their way to the stadium.
“We’ll also be running trams from every three minutes before kick off, and following the final whistle to get fans to and from all the action.”
