North Berwick Festival goers flock to late night services

Tuesday 25 August 2009

A new late-night festival train to North Berwick is proving a big success.

More than 560 people have travelled on the 2337 Friday or Saturday service over the last three weekends.   

ScotRail launched the late night train – which runs 30 minutes later than usual – on 4 August to give festival goers more chance to catch later shows before catching their train home.   It will continue until Saturday 5 September inclusive.

Steve Montgomery, ScotRail’s managing director, said: "With three weekends under our belt, we are delighted with the passenger figures on the North Berwick service.”
