A warning has been issued that Glasgow trains will be 'very busy' this weekend.

Despite the new temporary timetable being introduced which means fewer trains are running, ScotRail is adding extra trains specifically to help fans get to and from the event.

To help people get from Troon station to the venue, ScotRail has collaborated with Stagecoach to offer a two-in-one Golflink ticket, which includes both return rail travel to Troon station and a regular shuttle bus linking customers to and from the Championship.
Phil Campbell, ScotRail's customer operations director, said: “We will be doing everything we can to support fans attending the return of The Open at Royal Troon next week.
“While a temporary timetable is operating, we have been able to add extra services at busy times both before and after each Championship day.
“Our all-inclusive Golflink ticket is a great way to combine train travel from anywhere on our network to Troon station, with a frequent bus link to the event course included, saving time and helping your journey run smoothly.
“Purchasing your tickets in advance means less queuing and more viewing at The Open at Royal Troon, and tickets can be purchased via the ScotRail app, website, ticket offices or on board.”
