ScotRail has added extra late-night trains for TRNSMT 2026 festival-goers, but Scotland fans watching the World Cup match against Morocco on Friday will not benefit from the additional services.
Extra Services for TRNSMT
With TRNSMT kicking off this weekend, ScotRail has announced it will be adding extra trains for those staying up to watch the headline acts. The festival takes place from Friday, June 19, to Sunday, June 21, at Glasgow Green. Headliners include Richard Ashcroft, Kasabian, and Lewis Capaldi.
ScotRail will add extra carriages to services in and out of Glasgow throughout the weekend. Additional late-night services will operate on key routes, including:
- Glasgow Queen Street High Level to Edinburgh Waverley via Falkirk High
- Glasgow Central to East Kilbride
- Glasgow Central to Ayr (Saturday and Sunday)
- Argyle Street to Motherwell
- Bridgeton to Garscadden
Some usual late-night services will also be extended, such as Helensburgh services to Edinburgh and Bathgate, and later departures from Glasgow Queen Street to Perth.
No Trains for World Cup Fans
However, these extra services will not apply to those staying on to watch the Scotland vs Morocco World Cup match on Friday. The game kicks off at 11pm and will play into the early hours of Saturday morning. The festival has been given a temporary entertainment licence to show the match after Richard Ashcroft's set.
ScotRail has stated there will be no trains available after the football match ends. Scotland fans must arrange alternative travel.
Phil Campbell, ScotRail customer operations director, said: "TRNSMT is one of Scotland's biggest music events, and we're looking forward to playing our part in helping music fans get to and from Glasgow Green as smoothly as possible.
We're adding extra carriages to trains throughout the weekend and operating additional late-night services on key routes to support customers travelling home after the music ends each night.
On Friday night, Scotland's World Cup match against Morocco will also be shown at the festival after the headline act. It's important that customers know that extra trains are in place after the music finishes.
Anyone staying to watch the football should check the last train times and make alternative arrangements where necessary. Our advice is to plan ahead, buy your tickets before you travel, and leave plenty of time to get to the station, particularly after the music ends each night."
