We’ve been working hard to keep you moving this week, and appreciate your patience whilst we navigate road closures, and significant increases in demand of our services.

We’re pleased to let you know we’ve worked with Glasgow Subway to agree a ticket acceptance on board Glasgow Subway at both Cessnock, and Bridge Street stations. 📍

This will allow our passengers to hop off their service, and board the subway to reach Glasgow City Centre.

Head to our website for more details on ticket acceptance.
