TRNSMT is back bringing a three day musical festival to Glasgow Green but ticket holders have been warned of potential travel disruptions.
The festival runs from Friday, July 8 to Sunday, June 10 with headliners such as Paolo Nutini, Sam Fender, Lewis Capaldi and The Strokes. However, Network Rail strikes have led to travel chaos across the whole of Scotland while ScotRail is also running a revised and smaller timetable due to a shortage of drivers.
While Bridgeton train station is the closest to Glasgow Green, trains are expected to be unreliable and ticket holders are being urged to plan ahead. The festival closes at 11pm each night and depending on your destination, late trains may be limited.

On TRNSMT's official website it states: "There are last minute cancelations and extremely limited rail services across Scotland at the moment. Please plan ahead and don’t rely on trains to get you to and from TRNSMT, check the ScotRail website for the latest information, and look at alternative travel options. If you have no other way of travelling, please be aware you will need to leave the event early to catch the last available train."
A spokesperson for TRNSMT said: “We’ve been reaching out and sharing messages to encourage fans to plan their travel arrangements ahead of the festival so they can enjoy a much deserved fun weekend of music and entertainment. Anyone coming along should regularly check timetables if they need to use the train network and as always, there are a wide range of transport options in place including multiple bus providers, Glasgow’s subway system, taxis, and car sharing so fans should look at alternative options and plan ahead.”
Subway
As it's strongly advised that festival goers travel to Glasgow City by public transport and then walk to Glasgow Green, there are three subway stations that are close to Glasgow Green. They are Bridge Street, Buchanan Street and St Enoch. It can take up to 20 - 30 minutes to walk.
Bus
From the city centre, you can hop on a number buses from Buchanan Bus Station to Glasgow Green and it will take around 25-30 minutes. Buses include the 263 towards Hamilton and get off at Graignestock Street. There's the 18 towards Greenhills and you get off at London Road and the 240 Lanarkshire connect towards Overtown - get off at Ross Street.
If you get a bus outwith Glasgow, you can get off at the station and its a half an hour walk to Glasgow Green.
