Fans heading to Glasgow to see Californian punk-rock legends Green Day are set to benefit from additional trains for the special event, ScotRail has announced.
Green Day will return to Glasgow's Bellahouston Park on Tuesday, 25 June, marking 30 years since their first commercial album release with The Saviors Tour, and featuring support from Nothing But Thieves and Maid Of Ace.
With thousands of fans expected at the gig, ScotRail has announced it will add extra late-night services from Dumbreck, the closest railway station to Bellahouston Park, helping fans return to Glasgow Central after the event.
To facilitate these extra services, from 10pm onwards trains on the Paisley Canal line will only run between Glasgow Central and Dumbreck direct.
Replacement buses will operate between Glasgow Central and Paisley Canal, calling at Mosspark, Crookston, and Hawkhead. Due to road restrictions around the event, the replacement bus service will not call at Dumbreck or Corkerhill.
ScotRail is encouraging fans to check and plan their journey in advance. Customers are also advised to allow extra time for travel, as trains to and from the city centre are expected to be more popular than normal.
The train operator is also encouraging customers to buy their train tickets in advance via the mTicket system on the ScotRail app.
Buying through the mTickets system means people can secure their tickets from the comfort of their home, or on the way to the station, and it will instantly become available on their mobile device, reducing their need to queue at the station.
Extra staff will be on hand to make sure everything goes smoothly, and the train operator is also reminding everyone that the carrying and consumption of alcohol is prohibited on ScotRail trains, and in ScotRail stations.
Phil Campbell, ScotRail Customer Operations Director, said:
“We hope that everyone going to see Green Day has the time of their life at Bellahouston Park on Tuesday night.
“We’re delighted to be able to provide extra services from Dumbreck station to Glasgow Central after the event.
“Concert goers should make their way to the station as soon as they can after the concert, as the last trains of the night will be leaving soon after.
“Our advice to customers is to buy return tickets before you board to help your journey run smoothly.”
