Phil Campbell, ScotRail customer operations director, said: “This is another fantastic event at Scottish Gas Murrayfield, and we are excited to be able to play a part in helping fans of AC/DC travel to see the rock superstars in action.

“With more trains running throughout August for the Edinburgh Festivals, and additional late-night services for the gigs themselves, the train is the best way to get to and from the concerts.
