ScotRail has issued a travel warning to the near 60,000 people going to see Bruce Springsteen in Edinburgh tonight.May has been a busy month for BT Murrayfield as past weeks have seen Beyoncé and Harry Styles play to sold out concerts.

Next up is Bruce Springsteen, who is performing in the rugby stadium in his first gig in Scotland since 2016.The train operator is adding extra carriages in and out of Edinburgh Waverley, along with extra trains planned for the end of the concert.

However, Scotrail has urged concertgoers to allow extra time for travel as services are expected to be "very busy".The concert is set to begin at 7pm with gates to Murrayfield open from 4:30pm, but ScotRail is advising fans to get to the venue early.The firm recommends customers travelling by rail to buy their return tickets for travel through the mTicket system on the ScotRail app, which will reduce their need to queue on the day.

Haymarket station is also expected to be much busier than normal in the afternoon and early evening. ScotRail is encouraging Bruce Springsteen fans to walk to Haymarket at the end of the gig where queuing systems will be in place.People travelling to and from Fife are encouraged to travel to the concert via Edinburgh Gateway station to reduce queuing time for fans travelling to and from Fife.
