Oasis Tour Edinburgh: ScotRail to add more seats and services ahead of Murrayfield concert

ScotRail has added additional services for Oasis fans ahead of the band’s three-night run of sold-out shows in Edinburgh.

The train operator announced that extra carriages as well as additional late-night services will be added to routes heading to and from the capital.

Thousands of fans are set to descend on the capital when brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher bring their record-breaking comeback tour to the home of Scottish Rugby on August 8, 9, and 12.

Additional late-night services will operate from Edinburgh to Glasgow, Dundee, Dunblane, and Perth.

Haymarket station is also expected to be much busier than normal in the afternoon and early evening, with concertgoers being encouraged to walk to the station directly if they can.

Customers travelling by rail are encouraged to buy return tickets through the mTicket system on the ScotRail app, where they will become available on a mobile device and reduce the likelihood of queueing on the day of travel. 

Phil Campbell, ScotRail customer operations director, said: “There’s real excitement building ahead of Oasis at Murrayfield, and we’re thrilled to be helping fans travel to these massive shows.

“With more trains running throughout August for the Edinburgh Festivals, and additional late-night services for the gigs themselves, the train is the best way to get to and from the concerts.

“We’re encouraging everyone to plan their journey in advance, make the most of the extra services, and soak up the atmosphere of a great night in the capital.”
