ScotRail is encouraging Edinburgh TRNSMT festival-goers to utilise public transport by adding extra carriages to their services this weekend.
In addition to extra seating, the train operator will also be running late-night services to help customers travel home from the three-day event.
Mark Ilderton, ScotRail Service Delivery Director, said: “TRNSMT is one of Scotland’s biggest music events, and we’re looking forward to playing our part in helping music fans get to and from Glasgow Green as smoothly as possible.

“We’re adding extra carriages to trains throughout the weekend and operating additional late-night services on key routes to support travel home after the event.
“Our best advice is to plan ahead, buy your tickets before you travel, and leave plenty of time to get to the station, particularly after the festival ends each night.”
The gates at TRNSMT open at 12pm on Friday, July 11, Saturday, July 12 and Sunday, July 13. Glasgow Green can be accessed from five stations, all within a 20-minute walk – Bridgeton, High Street, Glasgow Central, Glasgow Queen Street, and Argyle Street station.
After the festival, late-night services will be available from Glasgow Queen Street High Level and Edinburgh Waverley via Falkirk High and Glasgow Queen Street Low Level and Edinburgh Waverley via Bathgate.
ScotRail is reminding customers to plan ahead, allow extra time for travel, and purchase tickets in advance via the their app, website, or at a self-service ticket machine to help make their journey as seamless as possible.
