Description
Thirty years on from the film that changed everything, TRAINSPOTTING: THE MUSICAL storms the stage. Written by Irvine Welsh with Music & Lyrics by Stephen McGuinness & Irvine Welsh and Directed & Developed by Caroline Jay Ranger, this is the story of the outsiders, the rebels, a brand-new, expectation defying musical, pumping in live and loud defiance across the West End stage.
Cult heroes of youth culture; Renton, Sick Boy, Begbie, Spud, Tommy, and Kelly are back, alongside an ensemble cast and a live band. Featuring some of the electrifying tracks from the film that defined a generation, together with catchy, confrontational and celebratory original songs, set to become singalong, dance-along classics, this is more than nostalgia amplified, it’s a genre-defying new musical that speaks to our contemporary malaise of defiance in the face of an uncertain future.
Radical, invigorating and life-affirming, this provocative, unforgettable experience will have even the most sceptical leave on a consciousness-altering high.
Trainspotting is not just a show. It’s a moment. It’s a manifesto. It’s who we are.

The drivers are in charge of our travel into London and whilst it maybe useful to assist the driver often sat navigation systems we have will not suffice for the coach route so we leave the plan to the capable driver.
Please refrain from walking up and down the coach as this can be dangerous. If you need to speak to me or the driver just pass a message down the coach – this is for your safety and the safety of other passengers.
I have high regard for my drivers and always ask customers if they would like to contribute to a non – obligatory tip as a thank you from us.
