yesindeed Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Okay guys and gals here is my How to Get to Braehead Guide I’ve done it a lot different from last time, as you will no doubt see Instead of having one long post I’ve split it up so that its links to these pages which are ready to print on A4, all you have to do is click on the links below that you’ll need to use, so if your coming in by train and arrive in central click on the “Glasgow Central to Braehead†link and your good to go I’ve also included prices and pictures (yes pictures) One big point, there is a football game at ibrox on Saturday, the stadium is close to the arena and may cause some problems, getting home and getting to the arena from about 1:00, the busses will be a bit busy but the subway is a nightmare on game day and traffic around will be a bit hectic after about 5ish till about 6:30 So here goes Glasgow Central to Braehead Glasgow Queen St to Braehead Buchanan St Bus Station to Braehead Etap Hotel to Braehead Purple Hotel - Braehead Travel Lodge Springfield Quay To Braehead Travel Lodge Braehead to Braehead (I know that sounds really stupid) Prestwick Airport to Braehead, I'm sorry it's to far for me to get too but if you get the train from the airport and then follow the guide for Central Station Glasgow Airport To Braehead Any Glasgow Subway to Braehead (not recommended for the Saturday due to football) Car or Taxi to Braehead Part 1 Part 2 (if your getting a taxi say the Sainsbury’s End of the center and follow the Blue car park guide in Part 2) Hope these are useful, any questions post them up and I’ll see what I can do but I covered everything apart from Parachuting and Jet Ski so I don’t think any one will have problems Enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SerenityBlue Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Thanx for this, I'm coming in from my Mum & Dad's place in Ayrshire and I'm wondering if I can get a bus from Paisley (Gilmour St) to Braehead rather than going into Central? Thanx again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comawhite Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 (edited) Thanx for this, I'm coming in from my Mum & Dad's place in Ayrshire and I'm wondering if I can get a bus from Paisley (Gilmour St) to Braehead rather than going into Central? Thanx again Easy :) As soon as you get out of Gilmour Street, head into Couty Square. It's the side of the station the manned ticket booths are on - you should also see a pub called the Last Post as soon as you exit to your right, and Piazza shopping centre on your left. Head left towards Central Rd - which is at the back of the shopping centre (between the back wall and car park entrance) and filled with bus stops (Map) You'll see stops near the far end with regular buses (run by Arriva) marked for Braehead. I can't remember the price, but a day ticket is pretty cheap. Once you're at the location in the pics linked in the original post - get off, you're there Edited July 27, 2009 by ComwWhite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ann+sara+emma+dani Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 I'm planning on getting the bus from buchanan street bus station to braehead on the sat, returning on the sunday. Does anyone know what the fare would be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comawhite Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 £4.50 I think. It's £3.50 if you get a nine, but the Buchanon Street bus is an Express which I think is still an extra £1. I think... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Scapegoat Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Apparently not: It's £1.60 on the 55 and £2.50 on the 23, round the corner from Buchanan St. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ann+sara+emma+dani Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Thanks guys! I'm wary that I need the exact change, so I'll make sure I have the amount ready when i get there. Only a few days to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rosie727 Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 (edited) i have a very late question, i now have to travel sat morning to glasgow central-soooooooooo is it expensive for a taxi from there to braehead? Edited August 28, 2009 by rosie727 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pez Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 about 10/15 depending on what taxi company and what route they go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comawhite Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 It's not really worth paying for a taxi when a bus is reasonably quick (if the x6 anyway, unsure about other services) and Buchanon bus station is only a short walk away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pez Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 easyest and fastest way to central is on the 22 bus from one of teh stops on the street with poundland on it its 2.50 for a full day ticket and you can use it on any arrevia bus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fearghas Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Hey dudes and dudettes: I was looking for directions for the Arriva bus. I went on the Google Maps Street View Thing: for anyone else who may be of benefit, Type in 102 Union St, Glasgow, Glasgow City G1 3, United Kingdom That's the mad dodgy STUFF shop. All exited - see ye's tomorow!!!!! Have fun but don't get skint! PS. I've posted this at 11pm the night before the actual event...why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
