ScotRail passengers heading to Take That’s Circus Live shows in Glasgow are set to benefit from extra ScotRail capacity, with the operator putting special travel arrangements in place for the concerts at Barclays Hampden on Friday, 12 and Saturday, 13 June.

Thousands of fans are expected to attend the two performances, prompting ScotRail to add services between Glasgow Central and Mount Florida and increase train capacity on key routes.

A late-night train from Glasgow Queen Street to Edinburgh Waverley will also operate after each concert.

As the nearest station to Hampden, Mount Florida is expected to be particularly busy. ScotRail has also highlighted that Glasgow Central’s Gordon Street and Union Street entrances remain unavailable.

Concertgoers travelling through the city centre should instead use the Carriage Drive entrance on Hope Street, where crowd-management measures will be in place.

After the concerts, passengers should make their way directly to Mount Florida station and join the designated queue on Florida Street, accessed from Cathkinview Road. Other roads around the station will be closed to concert traffic.

Additional ScotRail staff will be deployed to help manage passenger flows and provide assistance throughout the weekend. Customers are encouraged to buy tickets before travelling and leave plenty of time for their journeys.

“We’re looking forward to helping Take That fans travel to Hampden for what promises to be a brilliant weekend of live music. Mount Florida station is only a short walk from the stadium, making travel by train one of the easiest and most convenient ways to get to the concerts. 

“We’ll be adding more seats and extra services, including extra late-night trains, to help customers travel to and home from the event. They’re sellout shows, so we’re asking fans to plan ahead, allow extra time for travel, and buy their return tickets in advance. 

“We’re grateful for everyone’s Patience while our staff help customers board safely.”

Phil Campbell, ScotRail Customer Operations Director.
