Edinburgh Beyonce fans issued travel warning ahead of huge Murrayfield concert

Beyonce fans have been issued a warning ahead of her concert at BT Murrayfield on Saturday.

While ScotRail have added extra trains before and after the gig, the train operator is advising fans to avoid Haymarket Station, the closest train station to the stadium.

As part of her sell-out world tour, Beyonce will be performing in Edinburgh on May 20 and with 60,000 thousand expected to attend, fans are encouraged to plan their travel ahead.

ScotRail warns that due to ongoing redevelopment work on a building - which is not owned or managed by ScotRail - next to Haymarket station, queuing capacity within the station has been reduced by more than half.

With this, gig-goers are being advised to travel via alternative routes and transport options such as to and from Edinburgh Waverley, Edinburgh Park, or Edinburgh Gateway stations. The train operator will be adding extra carriages through the day and extra trains before and after the gig.

The concert is due to start at 6:30pm, however, gates at the stadium will be open from 4.30pm, so fans are encouraged you to get to the venue early as trains will be very busy.

Edinburgh Trams also operates a fast and frequent service between the entrance of the stadium and Edinburgh Gateway, Edinburgh Park, and St Andrew Square tram stop – a short walk from Edinburgh Waverley.

Edinburgh City Centre is also accessible from BT Murrayfield by a number of Lothian Bus services (1, 3, 12, 22, 25, 26, 30, 31 or 33).
