Forget the Spice bus, ScotRail has added more seats ahead of Spice Girls show

If you wannabe be on time, you gotta get on the train.

Thank goodness then, that extra seats are being added to trains so that Glasgow fans can get to the hotly anticipated Spice Girls gig with plenty of time to spare.

Scary, Sporty, Baby and Ginger are back in Edinburgh on Saturday June 8 and thousands of Glaswegians are expected to head through to the capital for the Spicetacular show.

Extra carriages will be added to dozens of trains to and from Haymarket – the closest station to the stadium – in addition to every train between Glasgow and Edinburgh now operating with seven carriages.

However, customers are being advised to get back to Haymarket as fast as possible after the event finishes as queueing system will be in place at the station.

The last trains of the evening will be extremely busy, and fans travelling home by rail are encouraged to go straight to the station when the concert ends to avoid disappointment.

ScotRail Head of Customer Operations Phil Campbell said: “With a big crowd expected, we’ve been liaising closely with DF Concerts and have a robust plan in place to help our customers get to and from the show.

“With a big crowd expected, we’ve been liaising closely with DF Concerts and have a robust plan in place to help our customers get to and from the show.

“We’ll be adding extra carriages to as many services as possible, and our advice to those planning to go home by train is – please carefully check your train times on our website or app, allow extra time for travel and leave Murrayfield promptly when the concert ends.

“Buying your tickets in advance will help make your journey run smoothly, but be aware, you will almost certainly need to queue at Haymarket after the gig.”
