There's real excitement building ahead of Oasis at Murrayfield, and we're thrilled to be helping fans travel to these massive shows Phil Campbell Concert-goers are also being urged to walk, if they can, back to Haymarket station after the show ends. They will then be placed in a holding area on Haymarket Terrace, where they will then be directed to the appropriate queue. However, commuters have been warned that there may be delays due to the high volume of travellers. As a result, customers are being encouraged to buy their return tickets in advance.

'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.'
