FURIOUS music fans have hit out at transport bosses after claims some were left ‘stranded’ in Glasgow city centre due to a lack of services on Sunday.

Thousands of people had flocked to Glasgow Green over the weekend as they headed to TRSNMT Festival.

Ahead of the three-day event, Glasgow Subway warned customers that the network was expected to be ‘busier than usual’ and to plan ahead.

However, revellers were outraged to discover that the service’s Sunday hours were not being extended beyond 6pm despite 50,000 people attending the event that date.

Donald MacLeod, who owns the Garage and Cathouse nightclubs, hit out at the decision saying ‘words escaped him’.

In a statement published to his X, formerly Twitter, account, Donald said: “With footfall massively down and demand for an integrated public transport network in Glasgow at an all-time high, and with 50,000 music fans currently in the city enjoying themselves at TRNSMT festival the company tasked by the Scottish Government to bring the city’s bus network together and who are in charge of the Glasgow Subway [Scottish Partnership for Transport] continue to refuse to run tube trains after 6pm on a Sunday.

“Words escape me.”

Another person commented: “A major music event takes place in Glasgow over the weekend and not only are the trains running on a reduced schedule but the subway still closes at 6pm on a Sunday.

“We are so backwards it’s embarrassing and no one is taking responsibility.”

A third wrote: “50,000 music fans at TRNSMT Festival in Glasgow tonight. ScotRail trains finish early before the gig ends and Glasgow Subway closed at 6pm.

“Hardly inclusive or have the interests of health and safety and accessibility for folks heading home.

"We must do better.”

Similarly, ScotRail issued an urgent warning to commuters ahead of TRNSMT over its recently revised timetable.

The rail firm said that some train times may be different and that services would be ‘busier than normal’.

It is understood that some trains were terminated before the festival had even ended.

Following this announcement, people took to social media claiming youngsters had been left ‘stranded’ in the city centre.

One person said: “Fortunately, I will be able to drive into the city centre but my son has many more friends that are going to be stranded.

“Taxi companies are quoting crazy money. So the majority have decided to sleep in station and wait till the first train home.”

A second added: “Unreal, absolutely unreal. Scotland’s biggest music festival and you can’t get folk home from it.

“Well done.”

A third wrote: “I have just returned from picking my teenage son and his friends up from Glasgow due to no trains running.

“The city was swarming with vulnerable teenagers with no way of getting home. Absolutely disgraceful, ScotRail.”

An SPT spokesperson said: “We have already stated our intention to review Subway operating hours once the Subway modernisation programme is complete.

"Subway endeavours to support various events in the city throughout the year including extending opening times for major events when it can. 

"The early close on Sunday evening remains vital at the moment as it allows for essential maintenance and for more intensive work from the modernisation programme to be complete.”

Mark Ilderton, ScotRail Service Delivery Director, said: “We are sorry to customers who are experiencing disruption to services.

"Customers can stay up to date with the latest travel information via our ScotRail app and website.

“We want to resolve the pay dispute with the trade unions and remain fully committed to further discussions.”
