Edinburgh Trams is set to extend its services beyond midnight when Robbie Williams brings his ‘Heavy Entertainment Show’ to BT Murrayfield Stadium on Friday 9 June.
Services will run from every 5 minutes until after 12am from Murrayfield Stadium to accommodate more than 50,000 fans who are expected to attend.
Doors open at 5pm and concert goers can make their way to the stadium on Edinburgh Trams which will be serving stops including Edinburgh Airport, Ingliston Park & Ride, Edinburgh Gateway, Haymarket and St Andrew Square (for Waverley).
Edinburgh Trams has teamed up with DF Concerts to giveaway 2 free tickets to the show. All you have to do is like and share special posts on the Edinburgh Trams Facebook page by 1pm on Wednesday (7th June) to be in with a chance of winning.
Dean Anderson, Customer Experience Manager at Edinburgh Trams, explained:
“We’re extending our service beyond 12am to ensure concert goers can get home safely and quickly after what promises to be a fantastic show.
“As well as choosing from a range of fares that offer fantastic value for money, Robbie fans can also avoid the traffic and the hassle of finding a parking space close to the stadium by taking the tram.”
“Trams are expected to be extremely busy so we recommend all customers travelling on trams around the time of the concert to take this into consideration when planning trips.”
