Buses to Glasgow

Glasgow, Scotland, is the fifth-most visited city in the UK, offering a famous nightlife scene, a fascinating cultural history, a centuries-old museum, and endless opportunities for shopping and exploring. Thanks to several regional bus operators as well as a well-connected main bus station that sees several daily arrivals from all over the UK, accessing Glasgow by bus is easy. Regular direct departures connect the Scottish city to the capital, or the really adventurous can travel from as far as Newquay.

Which is the main bus station in Glasgow?

You can expect upwards of 15 daily National Express services to Glasgow from London or Manchester, with more running on the weekends, typically.

Why travel by bus to Glasgow?

Many traveling to Glasgow from the south of England may be tempted to go by plane if the flights tickets are low. However, considering the travel time from London to Glasgow can be as short as 8 hours and 40 minutes, the travel time is still manageable, and it cuts out the airport hassle– not to mention taking the bus is much more environmentally friendly. Bus services are generally less expensive than traveling by train or plane to Glasgow, and the bus journey time from the highly popular Scottish city Edinburgh is just over one hour. Most bus routes from major UK cities are direct and, therefore, easy to plan.

Before you travel to Glasgow by bus - good to know!

It's good to have an idea of Glasgow's geography before visiting. This large city is divided roughly into the West End, East End, South Side and Northern Glasgow quarters, each with their own distinct flavor and atmosphere. Additionally, you have the appealing cultural quarter, known as the Merchant City, as well as popular retail areas, like The Style Mile and Princes Square. For a memorable night off the beaten track, spend an evening on Ashton Lane in the West End for excellent food and trendy bars that even many Glaswegians don't know about.
