The Killers: Police issue travel advice ahead of Falkirk Stadium gigs

Revellers heading to The Killers in Falkirk next week are asked to plan ahead and make sure they have arranged transport home.

Up to 50,000 people are expected to descend on the Falkirk Stadium on Monday June 6, and Tuesday June 7, as the Mr Brightside hitmakers arrive in town.

Police Scotland are also urging those attending to do so safely and enjoy the event and to make themselves familiar with the restrictions on what can be taken into the stadium.

As ScotRail services continue to operate on a restricted timetable, below is a list of the last services from Falkirk stations to Glasgow and Edinburgh:

Polmont to Glasgow Queen Street - 10:38pm

Polmont to Edinburgh Waverley - 10:40pm

Falkirk High to Glasgow Queen Street - 10:42pm

Falkirk High to Edinburgh Waverley - 22:36pm

Falkirk Grahamston to Glasgow Queen Street - 10:09pm

Falkirk Grahamston to Edinburgh Waverley - 10:03pm

Superintendent Chris Stewart said: "With up to 50,000 people attending over the two days, the roads and railways will be much busier than usual.

"We would encourage people to think ahead and plan how they will travel to and from the event and look out for travel updates.

"We are keen to minimise any impact these large-scale events have on those living in the local community and there will be a number of road closures put in place around the stadium on both days which may lead to some congestion.

"There will be designated parking areas along with pick-up and drop-off points near to the event.

"Those attending should make themselves aware of ticketing requirements and guidance provided by DF Concerts.

"They should also make sure they are familiar with the restrictions on what can be taken into the stadium.

"Officers will be present around the venue to ensure the safety and security of all those attending these two events and for the benefit of those living in the local area."
