Extra carriages will be added to trains running from Dundee and Perth to Edinburgh ahead of Scotland’s Six Nations clash with France this Sunday.
ScotRail said journeys into the capital will be “extremely busy” ahead of the Murrayfield clash, adding it will also be enforcing an alcohol ban on certain services during the day.
During the Autumn Internationals, many trains were so full that commuters in Fife were unable to board them.
Extra services are also being brought in to cope with the number of rugby fans travelling between Edinburgh and Glasgow.
The game kicks off at 3pm on Sunday and comes off the back of Scotland’s humiliating loss to Wales in Cardiff on Saturday.
ScotRail said trains to Edinburgh will be “extremely busy”, urging supporters to allow additional travel time.
The firm’s 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.”
