Since no trains would be running from the closest station once the concert is over, ScotRail has advised patrons to plan their travel choices. Additionally, just a few trains will depart Glasgow City Center after 11 p.m.
The train operator has expanded capacity on routes to Mount Florida to help people get to the stadium, but is requesting that music fans arrive early to minimise crowds and delays. At 4 o’clock, the gates should open.
Additionally, Primal Scream Present Screamadelica Live, which will be held on the south side of the city on Friday and Saturday, has been announced by ScotRail as taking place there, and ScotRail has warned passengers who use Neilston routes that trains may be busier than usual.
Phil Campbell, ScotRail Head of Customer Operations, said: “We’re urging everyone who’s travelling to see Calvin Harris at Hampden Park, or Primal Scream at Queen’s Park Recreational Ground, this weekend to plan ahead, check their journey, and consider their travel options.
“To help people get to the gigs, we’ll be adding extra carriages to trains from Glasgow Central to Mount Florida, however, these services are expected to be very busy, so we’d encourage customers to travel early if they can.
