CONCERT goers are being warned of possible delays with the introduction of ticket gates at Exhibition Centre station.
ScotRail says the gates, which will be installed at both platforms, are being introduced to cut the number of people travelling without a ticket.
Work on installing them began last month and they are expected to be operational by the end of March.
Phil Campbell, ScotRail’s head of revenue protection, said: “Revenue protection and reducing ticketless travel have always been priorities for us because it is honest, fare-paying passengers who bear the burden of lost investment in Scotland's railway.
“Ticket gates, which are part of our franchise agreement, are also proven to discourage anti-social behaviour and improve station security.”
A spokesman said automatic gates were already in place in several other stations, including both Queen Street and Central, as well as across
Automatic ticket gates are already in place at other ScotRail stations in Glasgow, including Queen Street, Argyle Street and Central, as well as across Scotland at Inverness, Perth, Aberdeen, Edinburgh Park, Waverley and Haymarket.
Most of the work installing the gates will take place overnight to reduce the impact on people travelling during the day.
The spokesman said they advised people to buy their tickets ahead of travelling to minimise delays.
