ScotRail was forced to introduce a reduced schedule earlier this year due to a pay dispute, meaning hundreds of services were cancelled.
While the train operator has since come to an agreement with the train drivers’ union earlier this week, it said it will take some time before the schedule is back to normal.
There have been complaints from gig-goers in recent weeks, including fans who attended the Calvin Harris show at Hampden Park, about the challenge of getting home after shows.
