Article reads: • Transport firms are riding the Gallagher wave, too, even if they're not reviving Nineties ticket prices. LNER said its Edinburgh-London route, linking two of Oasis show locations, has been "incredibly popular" this summer. It is putting on a special 575-seat service at 9am on Friday, the date of the band's first London show, named "She's Electric", ', with Oasis soundtracks and quizzes on board. It's fully booked. Mobico's National Express is operating 160 coaches from 60 locations for Oasis shows at Wembley, Cardiff and Manchester. Commercial director John Boughton said demand for its scheduled services was also soaring, "with some nights seeing nearly a 50 per cent surge in bookings". . Trainline reported a 20 per cent increase in rail bookings to the Manchester Oasis shows.
