Travel Planning
It is recommended that if you are attending the T-in-the-Park 2008 festival that you plan your
journey in advance. T-in-the-Park advises people attending the festival to use Public Transport if possible for travel
to and from the event.
Citylink buses will be operating additional ticket-based services to the T-in-the-Park venue running from Thursday the 10th through
Monday the 14th of July 2008. These services will operate from Glasgow, Edinburgh, Perth and Dundee with
additional services from a number of other locations. For further information regarding the service, booking options
and a T-in-the-Park journey planner visit the
Citylink T-in-the-Park page.
