Buses will be able to park in the nearby St Modan’s High School car park – there may also be some car parking in the bays there also.
Parking around the Stadium must be in the Bays provided.
The area is visited by Parking Inspectors on matchdays so compliance with the Parking regulations will hopefully avoid Parking Fines.
Arriving by Train
Stirling is well serviced in terms of trains from most parts of Scotland. From the train station the ground is about a mile and half or a 20min walk away.
When exiting the train station, take a left and go over the new modern looking bridge across the railway tracks.
Walk South East over a small patch of land that takes you on to Forthside Way.
Follow this road out of town and it will take you straight to Forthbank Stadium. Alternatively there is a taxi rank located at the front of the train station and see below re buses.
Buses
Buses past the Stadium run from Stirling Bus Station, 3 minutes walk from the train station (turn left outside). WAVE Ltd operate a service every 12 minutes from 7.30am to 6.30pm Monday to Saturdays (extended to 8.30pm on Thursdays).
Fare is 60p single, £1.20 return. Operates from Stance 1 at the Bus Station.
In addition First Bus operates Route 16 (C16 in evenings) from Stirling Bus Station (to Falkirk Bus Station) through the day – Mondays to Saturdays.
However it is only an hourly service leaving Stirling Bus Station on the hour or at five minutes past the hour, returning from the Stadium at 35/40/41 minutes past the hour dependant upon the time of day.
Advice to all Arbroath Supporters is to arrive in plenty of time for kick off.
