One of Scotland's biggest music festivals has returned to Glasgow this year from June 21 to 28.
And ScotRail has revealed that it's getting ready to help thousands of fans travel to the gigs.
With regular services running between Glasgow Central and Dumbreck, a short walk from Bellahouston, the rail operator is encouraging fans to travel by train.
The Sex Pistols are set to kick things off on Saturday, June 21, followed by rock legend Sting on Wednesday, June 25.
Simple Minds will play on Friday, June 27 before Stereophonics perform their sold-out show on Saturday, June 28.
For each of the events, ScotRail will be adding extra late-night services from Dumbreck to help fans get back to Glasgow Central.
To facilitate these extra services, from 10pm onwards trains on the Paisley Canal line will only run between Glasgow Central and Dumbreck direct.
Extra staff will be on hand to make sure everything goes smoothly, helping to direct customers onto trains, and ensure they have the best possible experience when travelling.
Replacement buses will operate between Glasgow Central and Paisley Canal, calling at Mosspark, Crookston, and Hawkhead.
Due to road restrictions around the event, the replacement bus service will not call at Dumbreck or Corkerhill.

The train operator is also encouraging customers to buy their train tickets in advance through any of the available options, which include online, via the mTicket system on the ScotRail app, or at a ticket vending machine.
Phil Campbell, ScotRail Customer Operations Director, said: 'The Summer Sessions are always popular events in Glasgow and we are once again looking forward to helping thousands of fans travel to and from Bellahouston Park.
'Dumbreck station is conveniently located for customers to travel from Glasgow Central and take a short walk to the park, and we will have extra staff on hand to help direct people when they arrive.
'We are doing everything we can to help as many people as possible travel, and will be adding extra services for each of the events.
'To help with the journey experience, our advice to customers is to buy return tickets before you board, either online, via our ScotRail app, or at a ticket vending machine.'
Summer Sessions has been popular with music fans since it first launched in Glasgow in 2013.
The festival then launched in Edinburgh in 2018, in Dundee back in 2022 and then in Stirling for the first time this year.
