Buddies attending TRNSMT are being urged to make alternative travel plans as ScotRail has announced that there will be no trains running out of Glasgow after the festival closes on Sunday evening.
Festival goers have been asked to make plans in advance about how they get home on Sunday evening after it was announced that ScotRail will be running no trains after the event, and people should try and find alternative routes home.
Sunday night sees Scottish singing sensation, Lewis Capaldi, headline the closing evening of the three-day festival, with tens of thousands of people expected to be at the show.

A ScotRail statement said: “ScotRail is advising customers that space on board the last services each night is limited, and no rail replacement transport is available, so customers should plan ahead, check their entire journey, and know what alternative modes of transport are available to them.
“Fans travelling to TRNSMT on Saturday, July 9 and Sunday, 10 from the North and South West Scotland may see buses replace trains for part of their journey due to Network Rail engineering work between Inverness and Aberdeen, and between Dumfries and Kilmarnock. Customers should take this into account when planning their journey.”
This is just weeks after the rail network was impacted by the RMT strikes which saw a very limited number of trains running for three days of the week.
With TRNSMT being one of Glasgow's major annual events, many people are expected to be left frustrated by the situation.
Friday and Saturday are also being affected as a limited number of trains are set to run after 11pm, when the festival finishes.
Trains running after 11pm on Friday and Saturday which will head back towards Paisley and the Renfrewshire area are:
- 23:05 Glasgow Central to Neilston
- 23:21 Glasgow Central to Gourock
- 23:30 Glasgow Central to Ayr
Head of Customer Operations, Phil Campbell, addressed the lack of trains scenario by stating that customers should check for alternative transport options: “We have another busy week of live music in Glasgow with Guns N’ Roses and then TRNSMT at Glasgow Green, and we’re urging customers travelling to the events 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 that there will be no trains after the event, so please check your entire journey and know what alternative transport is available.”
