Last updated 4th Jul 2022
Music fans heading to Glasgow for TRNSMT on Sunday have been told they will need to find an alternative way home, after Scotrail confirmed there will be no trains in the evening.
Scottish superstar Lewis Capaldi will bring the curtain down on the Glasgow Green festival on Sunday night, but his set will be one of those affected by temporary rail timetables.
Scotrail has confirmed there will be no trains out of the city after the festival closes at 11pm on Sunday.
Thousands of festivalgoers in Glasgow have been told to seek alternative travel as ScotRail confirmed no trains will run after Trnsmt on Sunday.
"Before You Go"__ make sure you check your route home...
Scots singer-songwriter Lewis Capaldi is set to close the Glasgow Green festival.
But his fans will be among those most affected by temporary rail timetables, with ScotRail confirming no city centre services will be operating after the festival closes at 11pm on Sunday, July 10.
The temporary timetable currently in place amid ongoing pay disputes mean fans travelling home from the major Glasgow events could be left stranded.
Rock band Guns N' Roses play Glasgow Green on Tuesday, July 5, while Paolo Nutini, The Strokes and Lewis Capaldi headline TRNSMT on Friday, Saturday and Sunday respectively.
But ScotRail has now urged fans travelling to the events to plan ahead and travel early where possible.
Trains departing from Glasgow city centre after 11pm on event days include routes to Neilston, East Kilbride, Gourock, Stirling, Ayr and Edinburgh Waverley:
• 23:05 Glasgow Central to Neilston
• 23:17 Glasgow Central to East Kilbride
• 23:21 Glasgow Central to Gourock
• 23:22 Glasgow Central to Stirling
• 23:30 Glasgow Central to Ayr
• 23:45 Glasgow Queen Street to Edinburgh Waverley
But even those could leave fans struggling to catch the last train if they stay until the end of the festival.
The reduced rail services are because of driver shortages, as they refuse to work overtime and on their rest days.
Union Aslef has accepted a recent pay offer of a 5% pay rise and it will be put to their members for approval on July 11.
Engineering work could lead to further travel disruption
Fans from the North and south-west Scotland have been advised that bus replacement services could be in place on Saturday and Sunday due to Network Rail engineering work between Inverness and Aberdeen and between Dumfries and Kilmarnock.
Phil Campbell, ScotRail's head of customer operations, said: "We have another busy week of live music in Glasgow with Guns N' Roses and then at Glasgow Green, and we're urging customers travelling to the event to plan ahead, to check their entire journey and to know their travel options.
"Due to the temporary timetable currently in place, there will be a very limited number of trains departing the city centre after Guns N' Roses on Tuesday night, and on the Friday and Saturday of Trnsmt.
"Customers going to Trnsmt on Sunday should be aware there will be no trains after the event, so please check your entire journey and know what alternative transport is available."
