June18 Carnoustietrains
Published: Last updated:
If you’re looking forward to heading up to Carnoustie next month but the thought of the drive wains your excitement ever so slightly, you’re in luck. GNER is hoping to take the headache out of getting to the Open by putting on dozens of direct train services.
It’s arranging for almost all of its Aberdeen services to call at Carnoustie en route during the four-day event (July 19 to July 22) – including direct trains on the east coast main line.
GNER is working with Virgin Cross Country and First ScotRail to put on the extra services and says that with few exceptions every train between Edinburgh or Glasgow and Aberdeen will call at Carnoustie.
Train services in the area are expected to be busy throughout the four days and GNER passengers planning a trip to the Open are advised to book their journeys as soon as possible. Advance purchase return fares from London King’s Cross to Carnoustie start from £30 in standard or £87 in first class: book via www.gner.co.uk or call 08457 225225.
