TRNSMT revellers urged to consider travel options as ScotRail services cut

Festival goers are being urged to plan ahead as 150,000 music fans are to descend upon Glasgow Green this weekend for TRNSMT.

ScotRail, which is currently operating on a temporary timetable meaning fewer services are running than usual, are asking customers to consider their travel options home after the event has finished.

The rail operator warned that normal services will be cancelled as it seeks to provide a “reliable” service in the face of crew shortages.

It confirmed that “trains currently advertised may not run” as timetables for the weekend are still being prepared and loaded to journey planners.

Customers have been urged to check trains after 10am on Saturday, July 13 for the confirmed timetable.

ScotRail said overtime has historically been needed to deliver a normal timetable of more than 2,250 services each day.

However, fewer drivers than normal are taking on overtime or rest day working as part of the ongoing pay dispute.

Under the temporary measures only around 1,600 services will be operating between Monday to Saturday with customers warned to expect a change in some first or last trains and the number of services provided during the morning and evening peak times.
