To ask the Scottish Government what additional (a) early morning and (b) late night services ScotRail plans to operate on the Argyle Line to support the 2023 UCI Cycling World Championships.
Public transport operators undertook detailed planning for the UCI Cycling World Championships.
With regards to the rail network, ScotRail ensured it was capable of meeting the demands of both competitors and spectators alike during the period of the Championships.
Specifically for the Argyle Line, many services were strengthened from 3 to 6 carriages, serving Dalmarnock for the Velodrome, Scotstounhill for the BMX venue and for general travel across Glasgow. Additionally, to take account of events at the Velodrome, on 6 and 13 August, all train services before 1000 hours and after 1800 hours made an additional stop at Dalmarnock Station.
