spot_imgspot_imgspot_imgspot_img

The Summer Sessions are returning to Bellahouston Park in Glasgow, and ScotRail is getting set to help thousands of fans travel to enjoy the music. 

This summer will see unmissable performances from The Sex Pistols, Sting, Simple Minds, and Stereophonics, with the train operator adding more services and seats for the events.  

With regular trains running between Glasgow Central and Dumbreck (a short walk from Bellahouston), ScotRail is encouraging concertgoers to travel by train.  

Extra staff will be on hand to make sure everything goes smoothly, helping to direct customers onto trains, and ensure they have the best possible experience when travelling.   

The Sex Pistols will kick things off on Saturday, 21 June, followed by Sting on Wednesday, 25 June, Simple Minds on Friday, 27 June, before Stereophonics perform a sold-out show on Saturday, 28 June. 

For each of the events, ScotRail will be adding extra late-night services from Dumbreck to help fans get back to Glasgow Central.

To facilitate these extra services, from 22.00 onwards trains on the Paisley Canal line will only run between Glasgow Central and Dumbreck direct.โ€ฏย 

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.โ€ฏโ€ฏย 

The train operator is also encouraging customers to buy their train tickets in advance through any of the available options, which include online, via the mTicket system on the ScotRail app, or at a ticket vending machine.โ€ฏ 

Phil Campbell, ScotRail Customer Operations Director, said:โ€ฏย 

โ€œThe Summer Sessions are always popular events in Glasgow and we are once again looking forward to helping thousands of fans travel to and from Bellahouston Park. 

โ€œDumbreck station is conveniently located for customers to travel from Glasgow Central and take a short walk to the park, and we will have extra staff on hand to help direct people when they arrive. 

โ€œWe are doing everything we can to help as many people as possible travel, and will be adding extra services for each of the events.  

โ€œTo help with the journey experience, our advice to customers is to buy return tickets before you board, either online, via our ScotRail app, or at a ticket vending machine.โ€โ€ฏ
