An easy and cheap way to get about and other Glasgow, United Kingdom Transportation Tips

Getting TO/AROUND: The Glasgow underground is more than 100 years old and predates the London underground. There is only one circular route with trains running every 10 to 20 minutes in each direction. This covers central Glasgow so won't help you get around Greater Glasgow, but there is also a very good bus service to all areas of Glasgow and surrounding areas.

You can find your nearest underground stop on the multimap site, where it will be marked with an orange circle, for example see http://www.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?client=public&X=259000&Y=665500&width=500&height=300&gride=&gridn=&srec=0&coordsys=gb&db=&addr1=&addr2=&addr3=&pc=&advanced=&local=&localinfosel=&kw=&inmap=&table=&ovtype=&keepicon=&zm=0&scale=10000&down.x=190&down.y=3 (sorry the link is so long!)

Getting TO/AROUND: There are two airports in or near Glasgow. The first is 30 miles to the south west in Prestwick (see my Prestwick pages), Glasgow Prestwick Airport, and there is a train that runs each half hour from the airport to the centre of Glasgow that takes about 50 minutes journey time. If you arrive by Ryanair this is the airport you will fly into.

The main Glasgow Airport is to the West of the city. It is possible to get flights to pretty much anywhere from here. If you are travelling with Easyjet you will fly into this airport.

If you are travelling to or from the airport by train get off at Paisley Gilmour street and take the airport shutle bus (number 66). You can buy a train ticket that includes this bus journey. At the train station the bus top is just outside - if you're not sure where anyone there will tell you where it is.
